In that era some European market sets were still multi-voltage and would have any variety of plugs on the end of the power cords. Check to see if there is an autoformer before the power supply with a plug you can change to vary the input voltage.

I have a Telefunken PALcolor 616 from 1976 that is only 220V with a regular European plug on it. It's also surprisingly well built, with a fold-out, modular chassis and switching power supply. It's occasionally blowing fuses but produces a killer (though flickery of course) picture when it's working. Curiously all the labels on the PCB and all the stickers are inside are in Spanish, leading me to wonder if this was made under contract in Spain (Franco required this in some cases) or if Telefunken routinely did separate runs of PCBs etc., for each market they sold to.
