Remember "Madman Muntz"?

Ahh - there's a flood of bad memories.  What a bunch of utter crap he turned
out.  Two or three functions on one vacuum tube.  Remove parts one at a time
until the set doesn't work.  Then add the last one back in.  Sheet metal
from tin cans.  High voltage wires with poor shielding.

You've brought back a lot of memories, but not pleasant ones.  He was one of
the true characters to come out of our field.
