I saw a remote control on top of that TV, though I also saw two tuner knobs on the front panel. Does that remote go with the TV, or is it for something else, like a cable or satellite box? I somehow can't imagine a TV from the '70s having a motor-driven VHF tuner; I always thought by the late '70s, most TV manufacturers had abandoned mechanical tuners for varactor electronic ones, which can easily be controlled by a simple remote control system. Of course, these days the VHF tuners on old TVs are of little or no use since all television is digital, so that tuner would be set to channel 3 or 4 and left there, the channel tuning and TV power switching, not to mention volume control, being done by either a digital cable/sat box or by an OTA DTV converter. These come with basic remotes for all functions I mentioned, so there is no need for the TV's original remote except for such things as color/tint/brightness/contrast adjustments.
