American TVs overseas

[Jeffhs]

That Zenith console with no legs also doesn't have a UHF tuner, as there is a huge blank area below the VHF tuner where the UHF one would be on sets made for US NTSC. I thought since many European countries' TV stations are on UHF channels, any TV sold in those countries would be required by law to have UHF tuning capability, not unlike the all-channel law passed in the US in mid-1964. Britain comes to mind. I think many if not most of their TV stations were and still are on UHF, unless the frequencies were realigned recently for digital TV as they were in the US.

BTW, I saw that "GEE" logo, and immediately began to wonder about it. Was this a misprint of a GE CRT label, or was it someone's idea of a joke? I wonder what GE in Schenectady had to say about that.

I worked for a firm that made spot-welding equipment. They built a machine for General Electric Espanel. I saw a document that was from them and the logo was the same with the extra E. Looked different 55 years ago.
