Most old PHILIPS appliances that are stamped with "Made in Holland" are selectable between: 110, 127, 220 and 240 Volts. Even the appliances sold in the 60's and 70's. So i guess some 127 volts services were still used in europe at that time.
I have an old Philips cassette deck from the early/mid 1970s which has those four settings.
I also have some old French-made Moulinex kitchen appliances from the mid 1970s, and the books for those all mention both 220-240V and 127V versions.
I'd guess that 127V was also still in use at that time in at least some of the former French and Dutch colonies in Africa.
