The premium sets are nice to collect, but you can't fully appreciate a Dumont till you've experienced a Muntz.

Actually, the GE KC and KD chassis is a glorified Portacolor!
The AC chassis set is a bit different using 6AU8's in the color circuit.
It's worth looking the schematic! IIRC, they made a rectangular set with a similar chassis.
