The USSR had 127V std for a ling time, and it suevived in a few places in 70s and even 80s.
In trains they provided 127V (or was it 110V) for a long time.

All electronics in the USSR always had 127/220V switch (this is why John's (Elliott) Record radio he got from Peter is working here). All my electric razors etc were equipped with it too.

220V was introduced in 60s to lower metal requirements by using thinner wires. Before that good insulation absence prevented it.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
