1960 GE 21" B&W console with remote
This is an unusual remote set up, the remote is not ultrasonic, it's a regular AM radio transmitter with a different frequency for each function. You can see the receiver unit (and that enormous speaker!) in one of the pictures. Notice the antenna for the remote receiver on the left and the motor on top which operates a 2nd volume control.
I haven't had time to work on this set since I got it at all, everything works but the remote. The power tuning controls are also of an unusual design. That ring around the tuner knob is actually 13 individual buttons, 1 for each channel. You push in the button for the channel you want and a motor rotates the tuner. As it turns these orange triangular shaped indicator lights pointing to each channel number light up pointing to whichever channel its currently on. Then the button pops out when it lands on the channel you selected. While looking around for information on this remote system on the internet, I came across the pdf I'm posting: GE Techni-talk vol. 12-3 page 1. If anyone has the rest of this, or vol. 12-1 and 12-2, which are also supposed to talk about the remote transmitter and receiver, I'd really like to see them.
