• Model: 780-A - Canadian Westinghouse,

• 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.
