[QUOTE=John Folsom]Hi Doug.

All the sets I have shown are in my collection (yikes, in my house!). While the Muntz works well, I did not show the whole story. Here is photos of the other side of the cabinet. The hole was factory cut, it has a routed edge and is painted, and was covered by a piece of sheet metal with wood grain contact paper, held in with screws. Whatever escutcheon was there originally is gone now. Guess I will just have to put something there which "look" reasonable, as I will likely never find a picture of what it originally looked like.

Hey John,

Thanks for the photos of that really rare Muntz color receiver. If that was a factory cut opening in the side of the cabinet, and this is a direct clone of an RCA CTC-5 deluxe chassis, what do you speculate was accessed via the opening? I see the on-off brightness control in that section, same as the RCA, but RCA did not see fit to have such an access panel in their versions. Also, is that the original channel selector knob? Much different then the RCA. And finally, is there a pencil box for the color controls under the screen? Lots of questions I know. I also don't see a Sams listed for this set which begs even more questions.
