Anyone recognize this early Sanyo remote?
 

Found this at an estate sale. No TV unfortunately. Any ideas what year this is? For a b/w or color set? Just the usual "On-off volume" and "channel" buttons, ultrasonic of course.

Found one on Ebay but not much info on it. Is there a part number under the battery cover?

It looks so familiar, possibly for one of those sets that had capacitive touch tuning?
Made by Sanyo for sears, probably sold under their own name too.

Doug,

Most likely it's for Sanyo 91CXX series 19" color sets. Sears rebadged them (564.XXXXX sets), as did Cahnnel Master. We sold Channel Master at the distributor I worked for in the early 80's, and we had a unsold remote set in one of the offices. The remote was very similar, and used a 9V battery.

Those Sanyos were great sets - we used rabbit ears and got great reception on all three channels. I remember watching the coverage of the Korean Airliner that was shot down by the Soviets on the set.

Cheers,

I have the tv for this remote.
