Nice save.
The set is not a remote. The ready plug is a knock out to add
a connector for accessories. The ones I remember were an antenna
switcher & a stereo adaptor. Places with Zenith cable systems may
have used it or a built in added "box", I am not sure cause there
were no Zenith cable systems in our area.
The chromatic button is an auto color switch. For the best picture
turn it off & adjust the set for the best pix. Now all you need is to find a
door !
The set has seen a LOT of use looking at the wear on the buttons
& chrome. Its a testament to just how well things electronic were
made in the past. You could not sell unrepairable short lived junk
back then, now its the norm
