East Germany
In 1986, an East German company called Robotron released a clone of the West German Lidl Console, which was called "Robotron TVC 8781". It was almost the same as the 1981 Lidl Console, but with cloned components and adapted to SECAM instead of PAL. At the same time, a B&W version of the TVC 8781 was released as a cheaper version of the regular color clone, with a somewhat better lifespan than the colour version and even than the original Lidl Console. The menu would be almost the same as the original Lidl Console, but with all references to the original version removed; and the test card would be adapted for both colour and B&W. Its mass-production stopped in 1990, with the production/manufacturing being large like for the 5 years console's production lasted.
