When you ordered a replacement from RCA, it was always "reconditioned" - no new remotes were made beyond initial production. The remotes came with a reconditioned sticker and a little sheet telling you the remote was used. Many had deep scratches - some customers were appalled that the remote they turned in was better looking than the one RCA supplied. I have one of the same remotes, reconditioned one with all the nasty scratches in the case.
I bought one a few weeks ago, from a thrift but it has only two rocker switches, volume and channel, plus the on-off button on the side. I thought it was for a black and white, or a lower end color set. It only uses one AA penlite cell.
