Ben, This ad from the Dec. 11, 1956 Look Magazine. The Westinghouse 22" color receiver was introduced in late 1956. It quickly proved to have problems w/the edge convergence. The set was pulled from production and replaced w/a traditional RCA type 21" round picture tube. It certainly could have been a dept. store close out in early 1957. How the store or Westinghouse handled the warranty problems may be lost to history.
