- Notes
-
Canadian Westinghouse used the chassis 780 for several models.
At present we know of two consoles:
780-X with 4 horizontal bars and
780-Y with 3 horizontal bars, Everything else is apparently the same.
Plus three table models:
780-A
780-B and
780-C
The model 780-X is famous for being in the 1983 classic movie 'A Christmas Story' starring Peter Billingsly and Darren McGavin and is a radio much sought by collectors.
