This set was made for the Italian market and was apparently assembled in Italy using italian-made components and has Philips speakers in a separate bass reflex compartment, it also has a voltage selector to enable it to be used on 120,160,220 and 240v power.
is this a clone of an american Dumont set?

I pulled the Sams on the RA400, dated 7/58. Your set looks identical.
Was the TV system used in Italy, at the time the set was built, referred to as CCIR?
Also, where did they use 160 volts?
