At a flea markte I bought a book about video that dates 1982. The appendix shows a table of worldwide TV systems, voltages and frequencies. Some entries were that weird I wanted to share them - just for fun.
It is sorted by TV systmes.

All other Eastern block countries aren't even mentioned. GDR had SECAM, some others supposedly as well, others PAL. There are still some videos around that have a sticker: SECAM (GDR) reception!
