I emailed a good friend and fellow collector about this set, and got this response:

"We had a 1960's RCA colour set at the college where I work, it would have been slightly earlier than this one, but was gone by the time I started work. I do have its service manual, stepdown transformer and pattern generator though. There were colour sets in Australia in the 60's for the purpose of teaching and studio training. As Australia decided on PAL in 1968, most of the old NTSC sets were imported prior to that year."
