I have a 1963 muntz turntable, would anyone know who made them for muntz?

It was most probably a VM or BSR. A picture will get you an answer pretty quickly.

By the way you have a piece of history. Mr. Earl (Madman) Muntz had quite an interesting life, and I instantly remembered working on a couple of Muntz TV's when I was a kid and marveling at the sparton design.

I hope Muntz just stuck his label on somebody else's turntable - without sticking his nose into its design. Supposedly, Madman Muntz (with limited technical understanding) frequently overruled his TV design engineers. The story was that he would point to a component, maybe a resistor or capacitor, and ask what it's purpose was. Then he would instruct that it be cut out of the circuit - if the TV kept working, then the design would be permanently changed.

I had a Muntz TV I got working as a kid, it had about 1/2 the tubes of a Zenith, (and not by using multi-element tubes), but it had a bigger screen and a good picture, all with less parts. I thought the guy was pretty good at downsizing.

Actually we could use a Muntz today to revive manufacturing in this country. There were a few tricks that were did not present additional shock or fire risks, but did cut down on components. A "Weak" resistor was usually used as an erzatz fuse, because it was just as efficient and way much cheaper than a fuse and fuse holder. The practice continues unto today.
