Either way, sort of funny playing with peoples names.

EICO built to a price point. Earl had a electronics company that produced radios and televisions. His units were known for having so few components that engineers had difficulty understanding how they worked. He introduced the low end television making the medium available to the general public for the first time. Before then, it was like buying car other than the Model T. It was alleged that when the engineers finished a prototype he took a pair of snips and started snipping components out until the unit stopped working, had it put back and started over. He was an interesting fellow. He developed the 4-track tape player that took the auto industry be storm until Lear developed the 8-track a few years later. For some time, it was touch and go as to the winner. He also produced the Muntz Jet automobile, a high end expensive car grabbed up by the Hollywood stars, mostly. The car connection was not that unusual as he started out as a used car salesperson and at one time had the largest used car dealership in the US.
His company is or until recently was still in business in California and specialized in custom auto audio systems.

My father was a TV repairman -- the economy engineering (for lack of better terms) of the Muntz (TV) products was notorious in those days... and "Muntzing" was indeed the term the old guys uses.
all the best,

"old guy"
