In Romania we had some tvs that had Japanese components into it (they where full tubed, live chassie - I hate live chassies, black and white). 1st of them was called Naţional (Natzional) V.S. 43-614 - it had "National-Panasonic (Matsushita)" components - sometimes the picture tube wasn't "Panasonic", but "Valvo" (Holland/West-Germnay). The "National" from the Japanese auction woul fit with the Romanian National.
