My Gawd, you coulda made about 2 dozen Muntz TVs outta the crap that's in an R-290A IF deck...all you'd need woulda been the CRTs....-Sandy G.

Both sides of the chassis of the last Muntz. I found this at a Flea market in New Orleans.

Earl "Mad Man" Muntz's goal was to produce a working tv with the absolute fewest parts. He seems to have succeded. Muntz tv's were very popular here in the L.A. area. Muntz's slogan: "I'd give em' away, but my wife won't let me." I met Earl in the 80's when he was manufacturing and selling projection tv's out of a wharehouse in Van Nuys, Ca.

Muntz
Hi, guys. Nice, clean chassis. Anybody have a Muntz they're willing to get rid of to me? Looking for a table model set, or, two, or three. Have 0. Nice bit of looney, true information. On his most popular tv commercial of the 50's, they had a upright rect. Muntz tv sitting on the stage. The old man himself would come running out in a straight jacket, with two "attendants" chasing him. He stopped, looked at the large price tag on tv, and exclamed, "Why, my tvs are so cheap I Must be mad!".
