I'm in the US and I had a black-and-white TV as late as 1993. The missing color didn't bother me. I loved shows like Lone Ranger and Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock Presents, and they were filmed in black and white.

Yeah, but that's NOT because color TV wasn't available, or only for the elite. It's because you chose to use B&W. That's not at all the same as the failed Communist regime.

Who made the tube for this TV? I see that it says, "WF". Was the GDR buying tubes from the West, or was there a plant before the war that they took over when they divided Germany?

@@shodan6401 Yes, the tube is from the WF (Werk für Fernsehelektronik) in East Berlin. It was the only factory in the GDR for picture tubes and was built especially for this purpose. Normally, no tubes were imported from the West at that time, mainly from other Soviet countries. Color picture tubes, for example, were only allowed to be used from Russia. Later, many tubes were imported from Japan.
