The guy I got the set from reports he got it from the original owner (illinois), and that she was told to keep the dust out of it, so she regularly took the back off the set and vacuumed up the dust! I once again assume that these would be the original knobs... but who knows? If anyone ever gets any independant inof on this Muntz TV, I sure would like to hear of it.

Hi John
Concerning the channel knob, im near certain its original as i had a mid 50's Muntz black and white with the controls on the side and the channel knob was basically the same in design to the one on your set. Im curious, are the legs original? Im asking because they are abviously not a matching "blonde" color to the rest of the set. That set has to be as rare as it comes!
