hello, I'm new to the group and I thought I'd share my two tv's with everyone... the first one is a 1954 Muntz 321C1 and the other is a 1948 motorola VK101M (VK101R) that I picked up a couple of weeks ago... need to find two knobs for it and a cople of other parts like the tuning indicator gadget that is broken on mine and figure out how to attatch the damper / plunger mechanisim that keeps the tilt out radio chassis from flying forward :p

anyone have a sam's photo fact folder for a 1948 motorola VK101M
TV chassis # TS-5
B.C. - FM chassis # HS-108
that they'd be willing to copy and mail me??

thanks,
Antonio

Holy mackerel! I haven't seen a Muntz TV since the '60s/70s, when my next-door neighbors in my hometown had one. The set died some time in the '70s, I believe, so they used it mainly as a stand for a 19" or larger portable after that, if memory serves. The Muntz had a beautiful cabinet, too, mahogany and with doors in front of the CRT, IIRC. (I like anything with a walnut or mahogany, or even oak, wood cabinet such as this.) They bought their set in the early '50s, so it may have been the same model as yours, only in a different cabinet. They don't make them like that anymore.
