Hi,


There were / must have been multiple types actually.

First of all, they used at least two types of decoder / transcoder 
boards. (One of them PAL --> RGB, the other, PAL --> SECAM). Second, 
they might have marketed both "old" and "new" C64s, but I have only ever 
seen "old" i.e. pre-250469 examples.

I have both a PAL --> RGB and a PAL --> SECAM one myself - both of them 
from the "old" (--> i.e. "tall" breadbox, 250407) series.

As I noticed, Procep (the local producer of these RGB / SECAM equipped 
machines) used a somewhat "generic" PAL --> SECAM transcoder board, 
actually the same one that one can also find in the "OSCAR" P6020 
PAL-SECAM transcoder box.


Best regards,


Levente
