Refer to the following Wiki article for matching the channel allocations between Australia and New Zealand.

Hmm, well its not getting C4 which is on channel NZ ch9 which should be on 10 on the dial, and TV3 which is on NZ ch7 comes thru on 9 on the selector on the tv.
But I did speak to someone who repaired tv's in the 80s who said there were lots of these that came over that had to have something in the tuner swapped out to change the spacing and that the way they did it was such that the numbers went totally wrong - probably whats happened to this one since they are all wrong on it. He was only starting at the repair place when the old guy that did them retired so didnt know any more really.
Not a major, I picked up a VHF modulator on trademe so I can drive it off that if the need arrises. Luckily the UHF control goes low enough to get all my modulators that I already have but one so its lookign alright for usability as a garage tv
