1957 Muntz 721CV color set found in northern California

[ChrisW6ATV]

Hello-

I bought this TV from a local ad because it looked interesting, and I have not found much information about it yet. It is a Muntz 721CV 21" color TV that seems to be from 1957, and the chassis may be the same as an RCA CTC-5.










It is interesting, the controls have labels that replaced the original functions, as if Muntz used an existing control panel but relabeled it to include the color controls.



The controls are relabeled as follows:

(Old) New
(Contrast) Brilliance (brightness)
(Brilliance) Color
(Vertical) Hue
(Horiz.) Contrast
