To find more dates look on the filter can, yoke, IC's, flyback,
controls. Almost always 4 numbers for week & year. Other
date schemes are usually unreadable. Dont remember the years Avantis
were made but believe it was C-F lines. And yes most major
console models came with or without remote.

BTW Avanti in Italian means roughly "forward" or "ahead". So
a Zenith Avanti or Studebaker Avanti are forward in styling etc.
Just another useless factoid...........
