Can I use a 230V minitel on a 220V plug in Spain?

Don't see why not, most European equipment is built to handle a range of 220-240V at least, whatever the marking says. At worst the screen might display slightly smaller than intended.

In 80s, the french electricity network was mostly in 220v. There is no perceptible difference between 220 and 230.
