A dual standard 405/625 line set is the Sony TV9-90UB (9inch screen) quite frequently advertised on the well known auction site.
Phillips TVette dual standard with 11inch screen. Usually gives a very good 405 line picture.
Most of the UK had 625lines by the early 1970s. Foreign set makers could now sell TVs to most of Europe with only a small modification to the sound spacing 5.5MHz most of Europe and 6MHz UK and Ireland. Most of Europe including Eire used VHF for 625 lines at the start of their TV services. 405 lines was the state of the art in 1936. 15 years later 625 lines was the state of the art when most European TV started.. This helped in the demise of the UK set makers. France went their own way sticking with AM sound and using a different colour system known as SECAM.
