The discussion of how Muntz TVs work well in population dense areas(close to the transmitter) reminds me of a story I heard from a fellow radio/TV collector, a former TV repairman. Seems a dentist in Dallas owned a Muntz TV and it worked well there. The person telling the story was the repairman that the dentist used to repair the set. Well, the dentist retired and moved to the Lake Texoma area(about 100 miles from Dallas) and took the Muntz with him. Of course, the TV, being a Muntz, did not do well at all in its new enviroment and the said TV repairman was called. He had to tell the dentist that nothing could be done(except purchase a new TV-not a Muntz) due to the sets design.
