Unhappy 60s Westinghouse color console found; left it for the bulldozer

I got a call from a friend last week; "OLD tube type color TV set in a shed at a house under demolition". I can't resist calls like that, so I took time away and went out to Riverside County yesterday. Indeed, there sat a 23" Westinghouse color set in a shed, among all kinds of debris, and the shed had been caved in by fallen trees and bad weather decades ago. Too bad, as Westinghouse color TVs aren't too common at all. This one has the copper chassis, and does not appear to be an RCA clone, although the control panel is very close to a CTC-12. I made a judgment call to leave the set there, where it will (sadly) meed the blade of a Caterpillar D3 some time today... Better luck next time!

PS: Check out the cataract on the tube!!!!!!!!!
