After some searching, I was able to find the remote control my father had that I remember from my childhood. I haven't laid eyes on this gadget since the 1960s!

SamAdams76, you should change your handle to PackRat! I don’t even have my yearbooks from the ‘60s.

We had a Zenith remote that had four buttons on it - IDK, but maybe one for on/off, and the others for volume and channels. It had three rods inside that would get struck by the “clicker”, and I guess operated the T.V. by sound. He got the TV from some rich guy that he had sold a new house to. Big console thing. Great for watching Hogan’s Hero’s on!

I sort of recall they had a TV that had a screen that was a small circle - but inside of narrow and tall wood console. With the console seeming to take up a lot more room fro such a small screen.
