The ugly rectangular remote controls came out for 1974 and was last used in various 1976 models. I believe the little 100 remotes were used on the 13" color sets as late as 1978. I personally do not like the rectangular remotes very much. They are not as ergonomic and are rather bulky. Besides, I like the "space age" look of the earlier remotes.
Thanks for the link and the info. I agree, the early remotes are my favorites and scream 1960's "space age". I have seen various ones show up on ebay and noticed the different designs and changes. I wouldn't mind having one as just a prop or collectible piece. I noticed RCA and Zenith remotes are the only old ones that turn up on eBay every so often.
