Hi Steve;

Yes, you are absolutely right about everything in the universe needing to be in perfect alignment for the Mystery Control to work well. It took me several weeks of tweeking to get the maximum range from the remote, and even at that it depends on the time of day and weather conditions as to how well it will work. Of coarse I'm pushing it to it's limits. I'm sure Philco never planned on having the control 30 to 40 feet away from the receiver

I'd be curious to see what your 1942 remote looks like?

Thanks.
Bob.
