Can you ID this late roundie?

Only $398 and it has an 8-track player sitting on top!

Commercials mention Chicago.

Could it be a Muntz?

If memory serves me right, I think that was a division of Goldblatz Derpartment store, they sold lots of offbrand stuff. the spot was from around 71-73 32 was owned back then by Kiazer Aluminium (sorry for the spelling) did any one notice that it was the only roundie??? or that you can play all 4 functions at once??????? as we used to say "way mod far out"

The brand mentioned is a TMA, I was going to ask about that brand one of these days, I took a screenshot off of Lets Make a Deal and it was one of those TMA sets but with a rectangular screen. I have never heard of them before. It was cool watching this, I hooked the computer to the video switcher and watched it on the '61 blue Zenith set.

there is a large roundie console in the background. this was probley a bait and switch scheme which still goes on today at the superstores. steve

This was posted last year:
If I read this right.
My SAMS Photofact annual index for 1970 lists a couple of Muntz 1969 color receiver chassis with #9021. Folders 1006 & 1008. It also lists similar chassis also called #9021 in folder 830 from 1966. The manufacture is listed as "Television Manufactures of America" Muntz Division. 1020 Noel Avenue Wheeling, Ill. Anyone have these folders?

I posted some photos in that old thread; you have to click on "view full topic" or whatever it reads at the top, then go to page 2. Cheap stuff.

Could it be Curtis Mathes? The Seatle area had a lot of cheap combos in the late 1960's to early 70's from CM, sold at the TVS Warehouse stores. Later on they featured the first sub-$300 VCR, a 45 lb. Sanyo Beta machine in the early 1980's.

I'll bet it's a Muntz.

By the way, that phone number should probably be POS 6900.
