That's about the only place a Muntz TV would get decent reception.. :-)
"Mad Man Muntz" designed his TV sets to be super cheap. bare minimum of an IF strip, for one thing. He'd often go into his development lab and randomly snip out resistors and caps to see if the set could do without.

Later on, the FCC mandated minimum performance standards for TV sets.

You can back off on the height a little. As the cabinet masks off some of the top and bottom of that roundie tube.
