I did some bench work for a Muntz dealer in the late 60's. The roundies had Zenith CRT's in them. They were EIA 1101 CRT's with the Zenith logo on the base. They tried to remove the logo but you could see traces of it. The chassis was pure CTC15 clone.
The set shown in the commercial is a model 1581, which had a cheapie Japanese AM only radio and some kind of a low-end record changer. An Admiral Ensign or a Maestro IIRC.
The Muntz dealers were a bait and switch operation.
