Yes, Admiral had a plant 1956 to 1961. Philco did not have a plant, but Philco branded radios were made by a local company Emmco, later Email, from 1936 to about 1954. There were no Philco branded TVs sold in Australia as far as I know. Motorola, GE Raytheon brands were also used on TVs made in Australia by Australian firms which had some technical assistance from those USA companies. The brands were often used in conjunction with the Australian brands: Ferris-Raytheon and Pope-Motorola for instance.
Astor, AWA, HMV, Kriesler, Philips and Pye were the big TV brands manufactured here. Three of those had close connections with the big overseas concerns of the same name.
Yes, CCIR B and PAL.
