It is shown on the "Color Television History" web site in the collage of CTC7 sets at http://www.novia.net/~ereitan/Gallery/CTC7_Gallery.html
and in its individual product sheet at http://www.novia.net/~ereitan/Galler...hington300.gif

I am pleased to have a Worthington in my collection.

Ed, I stand corrected! It sure is unusual though... BTW: Are you in town? Let's meet at the Apple Pan soon
