I think this is like the old Zenith console we had in Hong Kong when I was a kid. I remember that putting on a belt while standing in the front room, made the channel start changing. I wasn't old enough to be paying any attention to TV sets yet, but I did realize quickly enough that it was ONE belt that had a particularly "jingle-ly" belt buckle that would do this. The remote was a three or four button thing with the little metal tuned bits.

That set is long gone. One day it came on to only the top half of the picture....and as a kid, I thought the term "cracked yolk" was an odd diagnosis (of course NOW I know they meant "cracked yoke"). I think the TV disappeared after this...probly late 70s.
