I've repaired one of those Philco radios with the phone dial remote. It's an electromechanical nightmare. It has a signal seeker and a latching relay affair. NEVER again. RCA also had a remote capability on some of their pre-WWII radios, but I believe they were all wired. Same disastrous latching relay and signal seeker though.
