Contrary to urban legend, that model Muntz is comparable to the Admirals, Clarions, TeleKing, Teletone, Sonora, Truetone, Olympic and other mid line TVs of the era. It has a Standard Tuner, 5U4, full wave rectifier, power transformer, 3 IFs and comparable circuit design to the similar products of the period.

Muntz' major differentiation at the time, was in its distribution system, not the product.

Later designs resulted in reduced costs and a change in the distribution.
