I had a high school friend whose dad bought a $399 Muntz color TV. It was awful. Even with an outside antenna in a metropolitan area, reception was dismal. IIRC, the cabinet didn't even have a printed woodgrain pattern - it was just a dull gray.
There evidently was an intermittent contact in the tuner. The owner used the "slap-on-the-side-of-the-TV" method so many times that it had a hole in the side of the cabinet.
I worked on a number of Muntz B&W TVs, but never a color model. I consider myself lucky.
