Here in Italy up to late 70's we had several areas with different AC voltages, it's for this reason that all radios and TVs built in Italy had several choice for AC input
The italian CGE portacolor is very similar to german Kuba... cabinet, CRT, yoke and convergence are made in US, but the chassis was built in Italy with a PAL color decoder
In this video you can see the italian Portacolor
