25Hz TV's

[electroking]

Interesting thread. I was under the impression that 25-Hz TVs were a Canadian
only affair, but I understand some US areas also had 25-Hz into the TV era
(which obviously began earlier in the US).

Someone mentioned Toronto in Canada had 25-Hz until about 1952, that just
happens to be the year TV began in Canada. Areas in Quebec (Gaspesia) had
25 Hz until about 1963. I have seen pictures of fridges being fitted with
replacement compressors in that region (that was when a fridge was considered
a durable appliance...).
