The first wireless remote control tv was the Zenith Flashmatic (which used a flashlight for a remote) back in 1956. Then Zenith began making the mechanical ultrasonic space-command remotes in 1957, RCA also came out with an electronic ultrasonic remote back in 1957. Way back in 1939-42 Philco even had a wireless remote control (an AM transmitter called the mystery control) in some of their console radios.
After watching the '63 for a while, it developed problems with both vert size and horizontal sync, but both are repaired now, and I also went and did a complete recap of the electrolytics this time.
I got a new sound module for the '74, swapped it in, and the sound works fine now. Now I just have to address the problem with the channel number lights being intermittent.
