I wonder if there's a collector's  market for Muntz TVs?  I suspect that
you probably had a version of "Madman Muntz" on your side of the pond.  In
a nutshell, Muntz sold sets that were stripped to their very minimum parts
count.  His tuners didn't have AFC, but neither did they have a manual
tuning adjustment--they were set at the factory.  If you had a problem, you
called one of his service people to tweak the tuning.

Cheers,
