                  SELECT 10 INDUSTRIAL PORTFOLIO 96-1
                        A "UNIT INVESTMENT TRUST"

                                                                               

            The attached final prospectus for Dean Witter Select
Equity Trust, Select 10 Industrial Portfolio 95-4 is hereby used
as a preliminary prospectus for Dean Witter Select Equity Trust,
Select 10 Industrial Portfolio 96-1.  The narrative information
relating to the operation of this Series and the structure of the
final prospectus for this Series will be substantially the same as
that set forth in the attached prospectus.  Information with
respect to pricing, the number of units, dates and summary
information regarding the characteristics of securities to be
deposited in this Series is not now available and will be
different from that included in the attached final prospectus
since each Series has a unique Portfolio.  Total return figures
may be provided for years ended December 31 which figures are not
yet available.  Accordingly, the information contained herein with
regard to the previous Series should be considered as being
included for informational purposes only.

            Unit Holders may subscribe to Direct Invest, an
automatic investment program, by completing the Direct Invest,
plan application.  Pursuant to the program, a Unit holder may have
any amount from $100 to $5,000 debited from a designated bank
account and transferred automatically, on a semi-monthly, monthly
or quarterly basis, to the Trustee for investment in Units of the
Trust.  In lieu of issuing certificates for such Units, the
Trustee will credit to the account of each individual Unit Holder
the number of Units (including fractional Units) purchased.  The
Sponsor intends, although under no obligation, to offer a new
series of Dean Witter Select Equity Trust, Select 10 Industrial
Portfolio every three month period.  As each new series is
created, Units of each such new series will be automatically
purchased under the Direct Invest, program subject to the
applicable sales charge for such series as disclosed in the
prospectus for the series.  A prospectus for each new series will
be sent to a Unit holder participating in the program.  By
participating in the Direct Invest, program, the Unit Holder is
electing to invest the distributions receivable from units of a
trust about to terminate in units of a New Series, on the first
day of the offering of the New Series, as set forth under
"Termination - The Rollover Option".  Units of such New Series,
the terms of which will be substantially the same as the terms of


      

<PAGE>


the terminating trust, will be subject only to the deferred sales
charge.

            Unit Holders, at any time, may terminate either the
automatic bank debit or automatic rollover features of the Direct
Invest program or both by so notifying the Trustee or their
account executive.  The program may be terminated or changed by
the Sponsor at any time without notice.  Unit Holders investing
through an IRA or other pension plan may be limited in the amount
that may be invested in a trust in any one year.

            Investors should contact account executives of the
Sponsor who will be informed of the expected effective date of
this Series and who will be supplied with complete information
with respect to such Series on the date of the effectiveness of
the registration statement relating to Units of this Series.


            OFFERS TO SELL OR THE SOLICITATION OF ORDERS TO BUY MAY
ONLY BE MADE IN THOSE JURISDICTIONS IN WHICH THE SECURITIES OF A
TRUST HAVE BEEN REGISTERED.  INVESTORS SHOULD CONTACT ACCOUNT
EXECUTIVES OF THE SPONSOR TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE SECURITIES OF A
PARTICULAR TRUST HAVE BEEN REGISTERED FOR SALE IN THE STATE IN
WHICH THEY RESIDE.

            INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN IS SUBJECT TO COMPLETION OR
AMENDMENT.  A REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING TO THESE SECURITIES
HAS BEEN FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.  THESE
SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD NOR MAY OFFERS TO BUY THEM BE ACCEPTED
PRIOR TO THE TIME THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT BECOMES EFFECTIVE.
THIS PROSPECTUS SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER TO SELL OR THE
SOLICITATION OF AN OFFER TO BUY NOR SHALL THERE BE ANY SALE OF
THESE SECURITIES IN ANY STATE IN WHICH SUCH OFFER, SOLICITATION OR
SALE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL PRIOR TO REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION
UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY SUCH STATE.

entitled "Dean Witter Select Equity Trust, Trust Indenture and
Agreement" (the "Basic Agreement") dated September 30, 1993.
Such provisions as are incorporated by reference constitute a
single instrument (the "Indenture").


                               WITNESSETH THAT:

                    STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF TRUST


            Subject to the provisions of Part II hereof, all the
provisions contained in the Basic Agreement are herein
incorporated by reference in their entirety and shall be deemed

      instructions to the Trustee to purchase one or more of such

      amount of the letter of credit), to the extent not used by
      the Trustee to purchase such Securities within the 90-day
      period following the first deposit of Securities in the
      Trust, shall be distributed to Unit Holders on the
      Distribution Date next following such 90-day period or such
      earlier date as the Depositor and the Trustee determine".

            B.    The first sentence of Section 2.06 is amended to
      add the following language after "Securities"))": "and/or

      to the face amount of the letter of credit), to the extent
      not used by the Trustee to purchase such Additional
      Securities within the 90-day period following the first
      deposit of Securities in the Trust, shall be distributed to
      Unit Holders on the Distribution Date next following such
      90-day period or such earlier date as the Depositor and the
      Trustee determine".

            C.    Article III, entitled "Administration of Trust",
      Section 3.01 Initial Cost shall be amended as follows:

                  (i)  the first part of the first sentence of
            Section 3.01 Initial Cost shall be amended to substitute
            the following language before the phrase "provided,
            however":

                        "With respect to the Trust, the cost of the
                  preparation, printing and execution of the
                  Certificates, Indenture, Registration Statement and
                  other documents relating to the Trust, Federal and
                  State registration fees and costs, the initial fees
                  and expenses of the Trustee, legal and auditing
                  expenses and other out-of-pocket organizational
                  expenses, to the extent not borne by the Sponsor,
                  shall be paid by the Trust;"


            D.    The third paragraph of Section 3.05 is hereby
      amended to add the following sentence after the first
      sentence thereof: "Depositor may direct the Trustee to invest
      the proceeds of any sale of Securities not required for the
      redemption of Units in eligible money market instruments
      selected by the Depositor which will include only negotiable
      certificates of deposit or time deposits of domestic banks
      which are members of the Federal Deposit Insurance
      Corporation and which have, together with their branches or
      subsidiaries, more than $2 billion in total assets, except
      that certificates of deposit or time deposits of smaller
      domestic banks may be held provided the deposit does not
      exceed the insurance coverage on the instrument (which
      currently is $100,000), and provided further that the Trust's
      aggregate holding of certificates of deposit or time deposits
      issued by the Trustee may not exceed the insurance coverage
      of such obligations and U.S. Treasury notes or bills (which
      shall be held until the maturity thereof) each of which
      matures prior to the earlier of the next following
      Distribution Date or 90 days after receipt, the principal

                                      -3-



      thereof and interest thereon (to the extent such interest is
      not used to pay Trust expenses) to be distributed on the
      earlier of the 90th day after receipt or the next following
      Distribution Date."

            E.  The first sentence of each of Sections 3.10, 3.11
      and 3.12 is amended to insert the following language at the
      beginning of such sentence, "Except as otherwise provided in
      Section 3.13,".

            F.  The following new Section 3.13 is added

            Section 3.13.  Extraordinary Event - Security Retention
      and Voting.  In the event the Trustee is notified of any
      action to be taken or proposed to be taken by holders of the
      securities held by the Trust in connection with any proposed
      merger, reorganization, spin-off, split-off or split-up by
      the issuer of stock or securities held in the Trust, the
      Trustee shall take such action or refrain from taking any
      action, as appropriate,  so as to insure that the securities
      are voted as closely as possible in the same manner and in
      the same general proportion as are the securities held by
      owners other than the Trust.  If stock or securities are
      received by the Trustee, with or without cash, as a result of
      any merger, reorganization, spin-off, split-off or split-up
      by the issuer of stock or securities held in the Trust, the
      Trustee at the direction of the Depositor may retain such
      stock or securities in the Trust.  Neither the Depositor nor
      the Trustee shall be liable to any person for any action or
      failure to take action with respect to this section.

            G.    Section 1.01 is amended to add the following
      definition:  (9) "Deferred Sales Charge" shall mean any
      deferred sales charge payable in accordance with the
      provisions of Section 3.12 hereof, as set forth in the
      prospectus for a Trust.  Definitions following this
      definition (9) shall be renumbered.

            H.    Section 3.05 is hereby amended to add the following
      paragraph after the end thereof:  On each Deferred Sales
      Charge payment date set forth in the prospectus for a Trust,
      the Trustee shall pay the account created pursuant to Section
      3.12 the amount of the Deferred Sales Charge payable on each
      such date as stated in the prospectus for a Trust.  Such
      amount shall be withdrawn from the Principal Account from the
      amounts therein designated for such purpose.

            I.    Section 3.06B(3) shall be amended by adding the
      following:  "and any Deferred Sales Charge paid".

            J.    Section 3.08 shall be amended by adding the
      following at the end thereof:  "In order to pay the Deferred
      Sales Charge, the Trustee shall sell or liquidate an amount
      of Securities at such time and from time to time and in such
      manner as the Depositor shall direct such that the proceeds
      of such sale or liquidation shall equal the amount required
      to be paid to the Depositor pursuant to the Deferred Sales
      Charge program as set forth in the prospectus for a Trust.

            K.    Section 3.12 shall be added as follows:

            Section 3.12. Deferred Sales Charge.  If the prospectus
      for a Trust specifies a Deferred Sales Charge, the Trustee
      shall, on the dates specified in and as permitted by the
      prospectus, withdraw from the Income Account if such account
      is designated in the prospectus as the source of the payments
      of the Deferred Sales Charge, or to the extent funds are not
      available in that account or if such account is not so
      designated, from the Principal Account, an amount per Unit
      specified in the prospectus and credit such amount to a
      special, non-Trust account maintained at the Trustee out of
      which the Deferred Sales Charge will be distributed to the
      Depositor.  If the Income Account is not designated as the
      source of the Deferred Sales Charge payment or if the
      balances in the Income and Principal Accounts are
      insufficient to make any such withdrawal, the Trustee shall,
      as directed by the Depositor, either advance funds, if so
      agreed to by the Trustee, in an amount equal to the proposed
      withdrawal and be entitled to reimbursement of such advance
      upon the deposit of additional monies in the Income Account
      or the Principal Account, sell Securities and credit the
      proceeds thereof to such special Depositor's account or
      credit Securities in kind to such special Depositor's
      Account.  Such directions shall identify the Securities, if
      any, to be sold or distributed in kind and shall contain, if
      the Trustee is directed by the Depositor to sell a Security,
      instructions as to execution of such sales.  If a Unit Holder
      redeems Units prior to full payment of the Deferred Sales
      Charge, the Trustee shall, if so provided in the prospectus,
      on the Redemption Date, withhold from the Redemption Price
      payment to such Unit Holder an amount equal to the unpaid
      portion of the Deferred Sales Charge and distribute such
      amount to such special Depositor's account or, if the
      Depositor shall purchase such Unit pursuant to the terms of


      

<PAGE>

                                      -5-



      Section 5.02 hereof, the Depositor shall pay the Redemption
      Price for such Unit less the unpaid portion of the Deferred
      Sales Charge.  The Depositor may at any time instruct the
      Trustee to distribute to the Depositor cash or Securities
      previously credited to the special Depositor's account.

                                      II.
