Very clean looking! Nice to have the matching stand too. Those are ultra-simple chassis sets. Usually only about 9 tubes, and easy to re-cap. Only down side is that they're so basic that they don't have very good performance, even when all re-capped. They're in Sams, in case you need the schematic. I don't know if Muntz ever published a manual on them.

I had the honor of meeting Earl Muntz at his last store in Van Nuys, CA. He founded the company, and his son took it over for him in the 80s. I even got an autographed photo of "Madman Muntz" !
