Italian Phonola tube TV

[Kiwick]

Sadly, no color roundies here in Italy, as color broadcasts came in the era of rectangular CRT and hybrid chassis

There were very few consoles here, 99% of our sets (even expensive ones) were tabletop models (by the way, both Phonola TVs i have are 23")

We had some strange "half american" sets back then, for example, we had 100% Italian Emerson TVs made by Emerson's Florence plant

then we had Philcos with an American-made chassis in an Italian made cabinet, then Dumonts and Admirals made from 100% american components but assembled in Italy

We even had the little "porta color" but it had an Italian made PAL chassis inside.
