I don't think so. In the first years of color TV we had so much trouble with these over-complicated PAL sets that I think it would be a better idea to introduce a reliable NTSC system rather than a unreliable PAL system. The people are very angry with their first sets. Color was instable (even with PAL) andoften a service man had to be called. We had in PAL some problems too which you don't have with NTSC: we had much cross color bars in the picture and color frings. The situation became better first with the introducing of PALplus in the 1990's. With PALplus and PALplus color tv receivers we have now a really good picture. But when I came to America and Canada I saw that the NTSC sets already have the same good and reliable picture now. Germans often want to be perfect. That's their mistake. "Good enough" not perfect would be a better way.
Thank you for your comments with respect to the Telefunken set. It looks like a RCA clone I think.
