I think that I might be EXTREMELY unlikely that any color TV set from the 1958-1960 period had survived in Cuba. Maybe even black and white TVs from before 1959 might be very hard to find, if any ( TV in Cuba began in 1950, a few weeks after Brazil ).

In 1958 Cuba was still under the Batista administration, and had few or no ties to the USSR.
In all likelyhood, all those color TV sets used to watch Canal 12 were RCA CTC-5's shipped from Miami - and, in 1960-61, back TO Miami!
