The remote control system (or was it just the hand control unit?) for Magnavox's TVs and 3-way entertainment units of the '60s, including their fabulous 25" stereo theatre set also of that time frame, was named "Phantom" as well. I can't help but wonder if Zenith got into trouble with Magnavox years later for copyright infringement; after all, I'm almost certain the "Phantom" name was a copyrighted trademark of the former Magnavox Company, then of Fort Wayne, Indiana.
