The square in the bottom right of the tv screen is the channel indicator. There is a cable attatched to the back of the tuner that rotates the channel indicator. The remote sensor is behind the speaker cloth on the right bottom. I am pretty happy to have found this set. I needed another 6' combo like another hole in my head. The Phantom made me grab it. Restoration will have to wait. I'm working on other projects. This has to be a pretty rare set. I bet it cost a pretty penny when new!!!!!

I actually may have the service info for this set if you need it. I found a binder of service info for every magnavox product made from 1960-1964 in the trash behind the local TV shop, mentor TV. It even has some letters tucked into it between magnavox and some of the techs at the shop, about defects in the early color tubes. If anyone needs a schematic from it, let me know. I'd be glad to send a scan.
