I don't know how it should work. The older NTSC chassis are designed for 70 degrees crt, but there is no other country in the world (except Japan?) where 70 ° deflection crts were available. The Romania tv's might have 90° or 110° deflection crts. To prepare a chassis for working with newer (always inline) crts is a task for well-experienced people. I'm willing to pay the shipping of a Porta-color to Romania. I think, this is the easiest way for a 22 year old student to collect experience and become able to handle an older set. It is also possible to ship the set to me, and I will check or fix it and then send it to Romania.
