Hi,
I picked up a 19" Sylvania Superset today, and of course it was missing the remote. Does anyone have a remote for this set. It was manufactured in 1981If you have one, let me know!
Thanks!!!

Update...
Marty sent me a remote which did not work. Does anyone have a Sams that lists the remote this uses or perhaps someone has an ad for an early 80's Sylvania that they could scan, so I could see what it looks like? The set is model number CXA158WR

I have a Superset model RXC178WA05 made November 1983, and it is quite sensitive to remote control overload. In other words, if you're too close to the set with the remote, it doesn't work. Aim it some large angle away from the set, and it works.

Try a universal remote, but again be aware that the remote sensor in the set may overload and do nothing, as you step thru the possible codes.

The Chassis number is E32-22. I will try a universal and not be so close.
Thanks!
