          Re:  Gintel Fund
               Registration No. 2-70207
   
Gentlemen:
   
We have acted as counsel to Gintel Fund,  a  Massachusetts  business  trust (the
"Trust"),  in  connection  with the  public  offering  of the  Fund's  shares of
beneficial  interest  with no par  value and on  various  other  securities  and
general matters. We understand that, pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, the Trust has registered an indefinite  number of shares of
beneficial  interest  under the  Securities  Act of 1933. We further  understand
that,  pursuant to the  provisions  of Rule 24f-2,  the Trust is filing with the
Securities and Exchange  Commission the Notice  attached  hereto making definite
the  registration  of shares of  beneficial  interest,  (the  "Shares")  sold in
reliance upon Rule 24f-2 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995.
   
We have  reviewed,  insofar as it relates or pertains to the Trust,  the Trust's
Registration  Statement  on Form N-1A filed  with the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission  under the Securities  Act of 1933 and the Investment  Company Act of
1940,  as amended to the date  hereof,  pursuant to which  Shares were sold (the
"Registration  Statement").  We have also examined originals or copies certified
or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of such documents, trust records and
other  instruments we have deemed  necessary or  appropriate  for the purpose of
this opinion. For purposes of such examination,  we have assumed the genuineness
of all  signatures  and original  documents  and the  conformity to the original
documents of all copies submitted.
   
We are members  only of the New York Bar and do not purport to be experts on the
laws of any other state.  Our opinion  herein as to  Massachusetts  law is based
upon a  limited  inquiry  thereof  which we have  deemed  appropriate  under the
circumstances.
   
Based upon the  foregoing,  we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly
and validly  authorized and,  assuming that the Shares have been issued and sold
in accordance with the Trust's Declaration of Trust and Registration  Statement,
the Shares which the Rule 24f-2 Notice  attached hereto makes definite in number
were legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
   
We consent to the filing of this  opinion  with the Rule 24f-2  Notice  attached
hereto.
   
                                   Very truly yours,
   
   
                           /S/ Kramer, Levin, Naftalis, Nessen, Kamin & Frankel
