Super: The remote isn't very big. It's about an inch taller than a pack of smokes and takes to AA batteries.

I have this set up at my cabin now. I had bought a new 20" Maggie last year for the cabin, but it was never the same after Rita. Everytime something kicks on (A/C, heat, refridgerator), the volume takes a nose dive and then slowly comes back up. Also, the vert height stretched out about an inch or so top and bottom. Sooo, the new Maggie is now in the closet and the CM sits in it's place and plays great. If another hurricane blows thru, maybe I'll break out the Maggie since it's already kinda messed up.

Tony: I've seen CM portables of this type before. A friend's parents had one when I was in high school. I'd guess it was from the early 80's. Also, I recall seeing a 1960's black and white portable in that old TV shop I used to dig thru. It was either a 17 or 19 inch table model.
