Oh good, I was wondering if the table-top units were available with Space Phone. Can't beat the OSD on the early OSD Maggies in my opinion. You know, the large, squared-off, angled channel numbers in white that shrink and eventually disappear. Super cool. I want one of those sets as well.

watch for the one with timer function about this vintage.
Could set the TV to go on & off like a clock TV. Nice in bedroom,
also a security measure if you are in an unarmed neighborhood.
The noise & flashing lights will spook most B&E artists.

Oh you mean like this one? Just bought one a couple of days ago. The buttons are a bit different at the top though. The seller sent me a pic of the top when I asked if it was infrared or ultrasonic. He had used the same pics to sell two remotes. I ordered up another one in its original package, later model with Space Phone and VCR controls, but no timer control.
