Two of the items listed:
We had a Hotpoint B&W TV that had “Power Tuning.” An electric motor was connected to the tuner. You set the channels you wanted it to stop at on the back, and (according to my dad) it had a wired remote with two buttons. One button made it rotate clockwise, the other counterclockwise. It also had buttons on the front of the TV that did the same. Of course the remote was gone by the time I remember that TV. Ended up in my bedroom when we got a color set.
Typewriter - Typed my senior year research paper on an old L.C. Smith typewriter that was my mom’s. You almost needed a hammer to press those keys. Mom typed up many a church bulletin onto mimeograph stencil on that typewriter.
i never had to do this, but i do remember seeing my sister typing with carbons in between her sheets of paper so she could have copies... and if she made a mistake, she would use that pencil-looking thing that had a pointed eraser at the tip and a brush on the other end... and she would have to erase the mistake on each layer... what a pain!
