Yes.

Somebody, in this forum, affirmed there are no simple PAL TVs from industrial factorys ( not from craftsmen ), apart from Kuba and Telefunken sets with 11SP22 cathode ray tube.

Actually, according to Argeo Deotto, simple PAL was a flop, then following TVs adopted PAL delay; therefore there ARE some simple PAL TVs and Marco's set proveS that.

According to Marco, his PAL Portacolor makes some Hannover bars, more visible on yellow images; but we see two good rasters from his "new" PAL-Zenith, without Hannover bars, only some retrace lineS on the raster from "Cultura moderna" broadcast ( not the young lady ); therefore, supposing both the TVs are connected to the same aerial, pheraps the little one needs some adjustements ( synchro demodulators? ).
I have the schematic and some instructions for the technicians, with regard to the "Telecolor" ( a Telefunken simple PAL TV, pheraps made in Milan, with some writings meaning: "Volume", "Luminosità", "Colore", "1/2" on the VHF/UHF switch knob and Italian VHF channels "A,B,C,D...", and having 11SP22 cathode ray tube; in my opinion it is possible that it resembles Marco's simple PAL Portacolor )

1) Yes, in a lot of Italian TVs from 50s there is a safety-glass who increaseS the contrast too; even in some European sets from 70s there is a similar device, a "plastic glass", almost black (!)
My parents had one of these TVs until 1982 ( a Siemens hybrid TV, with push - buttons tuning and four slider potentiometers, one of them for tone adjustement; now it appears only in a lot of photos).

2) ...Is there in English any neologism as "consumIST" or sIMILAR?
