Thanks Chuck,
I always appreciate hearing some of the history of these rare early color sets. I can't imagine an ABC quiz show giving away a color set. in 1956 ABC was about 5-6 years away from their first color telecasts. Maybe the ABC brass decided to pull the set as a prize and the lucky employee was able to purchase it at discount. I have a tape of an old NBC kinescope of the "This Is Your Life" program (1957) and they gave away an RCA "Wingate" CTC-5 color set to the subject of the week Phil Harris. nice shot of the set on the tape.
