Yes, there where 120 Volts in Europe. 3 phase in some cases was 208 Volts.
Probably 120 Volts was of U.S.A. inspiration. And back then there wasn't a general standard. So there where 42 Hz. sometimes in stad of 50.
I wonder how good where the French color tv sets compared to the U.K. ones.

Here are some French colour tv sets (I like the "Schinder" very much):

In 1969 there where 135.000 color tv sets in France. In 1973 there where arleady 1.045.000 (1,045,000) versus 12.660.000 black and white. So about 1 in 10 tv sests was colour.
I wonder why France was so slow in allowing private tv station to broadcast.
