Interesting, thanks for the info. I have been doing a bit of reading this afternoon and at least in Slovakia and some of the Baltic states they changed the sound/vision separation at the same time as the move from Secam so that must have been a larger change to cope with. But they seemed to do simulcasts for a while, so it was not a big bang switch everywhere.

Interesting to see that Rubin 719, in fact I saw one in the museum at the bottom of the 'Palace of Culture and Science' in Warsaw a few years back and it was huge, looked like it weighed a tonne !
