No pushing buttons or turning a knob. I have never seen a tuner like this and think it's very rare. A sensor detects your finger beside the channel number-channels 2-13 and goes to that channel upen detection of your finger-that's it. Also, there's a complex set of knobs, one beside each number to adjust to get UHF channels on the VHF tuner which is just weird too. Well, that's the gimmicky 1970's for you with every manufactorer trying to get you to buy their TVs:-)

my gradmother had this exact set, on all day everyday from 78 to 04 when she went into a nursing home, she gave it to her neighbor who used it as a set for the kids in the finished basement. I remember watching the OJ simpson car chase on it as we were having a family gathering that day. all the aunts and uncles flew in for a reunion and we spent most of it glued to the TV! I remember sometimes it would get stuck between 2 channels (both channel number lights would flicker) abd youd have to unplug the set to reset it.
