While Muntz sets may come looking pretty,
Their performance is often a pity.
Earl took to parts-clipping,
To send the price dipping;
They only work well in the city.
Please pardon my recess, but I've dealt with these sets, and others like it.
If they can be made to work well in their old age, and pull in decent reception, it is the (pardon my saying) "zenith" of the TV restorer's art.
Although now this may all be moot, as analog reception for these old sets will soon be strictly through the "out to tv" port of a VCR or DVD player. And the TV DXers are likely going to have to find another pursuit.
I know where there is a Muntz console on which a mechanic friend of mine in Pittsfield, MA did a reasonalbe cabinet resto. He was willing to just load it into my car if I could make use of it. IIRC he said it did something, but he didn't "know enough about that kinda stuff" to give me any definite answers. I said "no thanks" to us plugging the set in to try it out. (20 years ago I would've been on this potential project like a cheap suit! .....and 20 more years and I'd have been glad to plug it into the wall if it were simply a shorted power cord.) This was about 2 years ago. I'll look this up and make a new thread about it if there are that many Muntz-seekers out there...This guy is an auto mechanic, and I'll leave the rest to your imagination.
It's a larger set, with the older format of rectangular tube--in the 21-23" range I would guess. Pretty to look at with the set off anyways....
