Hello,
today I had a telephone call from a publishing house in Hanover, they need a photo from the first PAL color television receiver in the world for a journal. They got their photo.
When Walter Bruch developed the PAL color system for Telefunken in Hanover, he also was involved in the development of the first PAL colour television receiver.
The Telefunken PALcolor 708T was already produced in early 1967 and used for training lessons for the tv servicemen in Germany. The cabinet and bezel is made of wood. Here are some high-resolution photos of this set:

Especially this set is one of the very early ones, and the picture tube A63-11X is still very strong, which is a rare case.
A Youtube video shows this set in operation:
