58 RCA 21" b/w with remote

[Adam]

Its good to see AK up and running again, but I lost all the stuff I had in the temporary b/w forum, so here's a short version: For those of you that weren't there I got a 1958 RCA 21" B/W with remote, and the remote is attached by wire. The remote is original, it says RCA on it. This is the only set I have ever seen with a remote attached by wire. I was wondering if there are any others out there?
Also, the crt was very dim, but I used a rejuvinator, this helped a bit, then attached a picture tube brightener, and it seems ok now.
The vert will sync, but just barely. Anyway, I plan on recapping this set completely, all paper caps and electrolytics. I don't see much room to put the new electrolytics though.
The remote will adjust the volume, turn the set on/off, but the channel changer in broken, I haven't looked into it yet, but it makes some noise when I press the button, but the dial doesn't turn.
