@EMBpodcast HAHA LOL GOOD OLD ZENITH REMOTES! i want to interfere with anothers tv

This must be one of the very first remote controlled TVs. I'd LOVE to know when the VERY first colour broad cast was & where in the world this took place. I suspect it may have been in the USA for some reason.

I used to have an almost identical TV when I was young. It didn't have the Space Command remote, though. It did have a wired remote that plugged in the back of the set, and a perfect picture. I didn't have a choice of what to watch on it as most of the stations where I live are UHF, and my TV didn't have that, so I was stuck with channel 13, or snow, until I got a VCR.

how much is one worth today?

My dad purchased this exact set for his bedroom back in Brooklyn, NY in 1960. I once pointed the remote out the bedroom window and later on heard stories of a lady living across Ocean Parkway in an apt building complaining that her TV would change channels all by itself. She owned a Zenith like this one! haha

Very interesting that Chicago had 5 VHF stations, most midwest cities had only 3

@drh4683 I forgot how good Zenith tv's used to be thi one looks beautiful even in black and white!

@willdav713 true if you don't mind a separate box. Personally, i'd use a micro-cable box or tivo. I've got tivos hooked to both my tvs.

@LordOrwell2 Or you could hookup a VCR to it, and hook the VCR to Cable. If the set had UHF and VHF you could buy a 2 way splitter and 2 transformers and hook those up in the respective VHF and UHF ports and get up to 81 channels. I did that once.
I grew up watching one of these and would get very scared when dad put on Outer Limits.
