1957 Muntz 721CV color set found in northern California

[Steve D.]

After viewing the various photos of both sets, each having a tube chart that is similar to the CTC-5 Special/Super chassis. Except for the tuner. I suspect Chris has the original Muntz chassis in his set. I see in Chris' post #22 the photo of the chassis front panel that has the convergence & screen controls ect. also shows the empty holes that RCA used for their user controls, which Muntz has grouped with the tuner. John's set may have had a Deluxe chassis installed to replace the Special/ Super chassis at one point. John's tuner also from a CTC-5 Deluxe side mounted model. Hence, the holes cut in the cabinet side for the channel selector. John's user controls are also under the screen and have the 6 controls as on the CTC-5 Deluxe chassis. Which would explain the holes drilled in the wood panel between the hortz. and vert. controls and the crude handwritten legends. There are other differences on both sets that would require a SAMS, if they had one, to futher verify what's original and what's not.
