Yes it is. Kuba was specialized in building nice wooden cabinets etc., but not in creating progressive modern technology. The Saba's, Telefunken's and Grundig's were much better. You can see that too in the fact, that Kuba was one of the only factories, which had a joint venture with General Electrics to built the simple and low quality Porta-color (with European tubes and American crt and flyback. The first Kuba color tv set had multi-layer solid copper circuits like have today on PC motherboards. This seems to be very progressive in the 1960s. But they drived the multi-layer circuits with high voltage currents, and they very often burned out.
I don't want to have a Kuba Komet, even if I had the place to store it.
