Hello, I think you should save and restore this set and make or find a replacement back for this set as well as Westinghouse TVs are very hard to find from 1969 and earlier let a 1940's or 1950's Westinghouse TV.
To make a replacement back, locate some masonite or hardboard pegboard, cut it to size to fit the TV cabinet. Next, cut a hole about 4 inch by 4 inch sqaure where the neck of the CRT sticks out. To make the CRT cover, take either corrigated cardboard from a cardbord box that's single ply or about 1/16th to 1/8th of an inch thick, then cut and fashion a CRT nect cover about 4-inch by 4-inch square to fit the 4-inch by 4 inch hole in the back you've just made from the pegboard and presto, you now have a replacement back for your Westinghouse TV until you can find an authentic Westinghouse back for this TV. You could also contact Harry Poster or any other member here on VK about replacement back as well.
Replacement tubes for missing tubes in this Westinghouse TV could also be obtained from any vintage electronic restoration company or also from other members here on VK as well as any other missing parts you may need to help you complete the restoration of this rare Westinghouse TV as well.
