No, i haven't seen one yet, there are very few roundies here, Philips and Zenith made some roundies with a PAL chassis for our market in the mid 60s, but they were very rare even back then, as just a few (extremely wealthy) people bough them to watch B/W only programming, with the hope to get color programming someday... and they waited until 1972...
The earliest color TVs you can realistically expect to find here are rectangular hybrid chassis sets from about 1972 when color programming started to appear, while solid state sets made in the mid 70s are still relatively easy to find...
most people here stuck with B/W until the early 90s and B/W sets were sold until the late 80s... with at least one hybrid B/W chassis being dragged on into the early 80s.
