I always thought, all the German radios had power transformers. The sets sold here, for the north American market, always seemed to have them.
I was surprised to see, so many of their TV's were series string, hot chassis sets, with some of the strangest tube types.
The last of the German tube type Tv's were straight 220 volt design.
When people brought them to the US, they had to be equipped with a step-up transformer. 120/240, auto-transformer type.
