I had a little fooling around time, so I tried my 1146 on a DC source, as close to pure DC, as I could come up with. It's a power supply using a full bridge rectifier and a 470 mf 'lytic cap.
It actually works rather well. I metered the DC voltage being fed to it. Three different levels, 105, 110 and 120 VDC. Slight horiz underscan at 105 volts.
Emerson did design sets for the DC market, this set and the 7" set, that came out years earlier.
