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.

That's about where it is with those sets. While we needed a roof aerial for our Muntz down in Columbus, GA we had an Admiral portable that worked just fine on its own whip antenna.
