Does anyone know a link that shows the early RCA remote controls?

Especially, the Remotes for the early RCA Color sets??

Thanks! Harry

No link that I know of, but here's a quick physical description of the color ones:

CTC-7-10: Tan metal case, brass trim, clear lucite buttons, has 6 small buttons and one large channel bar. There was also a rare version that had more buttons, and had a storage compartment in the front panel for the remote. I can't remember it well enough to try to describe.

CTC-11-16 early: Light brown plastic case; similar to above but brushed gold-tone aluminum top face, and dark gray plastic buttons. Round red RCA button logo.

CTC-16XL to CTC-31-ish: Same as above, but black plastic case with brushed aluminum (not gold tone) face plate.

CTC-38-39: Same as above, except the RCA logo went from the old style circular one to the "digital block letter" logo.

CTC-40 & up through the mid 1970s: Black padded vinyl case, brushed tan aluminum face, nickel-plated battery cover and front trim, has independent channel up & down buttons, and has rocker switches in stead of straight push buttons.
