Description
The Telecolor 4507 is a 56 cm colour television set made by Electronica in Bucharest with East German kits [1]. Its 67 cm companion was the Cromatic 02 [1].
The third series, the Telecolor 4507 and Cromatic 02, had the same construction as the second; its decoder and video modules were redesigned in East Germany, with the Philips TDA3510 (PAL) and TDA3520 (SECAM) decoder circuits made there as A 3510D and A 3520D, and the A 3501D video processor (TDA3501) [1].
Romania adopted the PAL colour system by political decision; since Electronica could not yet make colour sets on its own, after an offer from Körting fell through it bought kits from RFT in East Germany, a good choice: the sets were reliable and easy to make and to service [1]. Two categories were made with East German kits until after 1990, the Telecolor (56 cm) and the Cromatic (67 cm), without remote control, which mattered little given how few programmes could be received; colour monitors for computers were also built on their structure [1]. The design team was coordinated by Mihai Silișteanu, with an important role for Gunther Pflanzer [1].
