I am not sure I understand this question. Brazil uses PAL-M, that is, the same 525-line scan and color subcarrier as NTSC, but the CT-100 would not have the necessary line-by-line phase alternation to decode PAL correctly.

Is that what you were asking?

For the best of my knowledge, this TV is a 100% original in it's American specifications, hadn't suffered a single adaptation since it was bought. When it received color signals, please note, it was in 1963, when experimental NTSC color broadcasts were made here. By 1970 - when they were already preparing to adopt PAL-M - the CT-100 was already retired, due to vertical failure. It never witnessed PAL-M color... so far.

Well, thanks to his vertical failure your set hadn't suffered a thing like...
...this attachement!
I have not ate the sardines, that circuit is NOT tested and i do NOT advise anyone to test it, however i was thinking of a circuit like it.
I am happy because you has now a genuine CT - 100, of course...

That is a very curious device!!!

UNFORTUNATELY, that CT-100 is not mine, is from some guy that I don't even know in person. I still didn't managed ( financially speaking ) to put my hands in the very commom Brazilian Philco Predicta... just imagine a CT-100!!!

It is COMPLETELY out of my reach.
