Foreign: there was a SABA AM/FM table set with ultrasonic remote that got imported to the USA....IIRC there was an article about it in ARC many years ago.

Domestic Pre-war there most famously there was the Philco mystery control which could turn the set off, adjust volume, select tuning presets and opperate a record changer...A friend owns a working radio only model...I was given the same model console as his last year and once I find the remote I plan on restoring it.

There were many wired remote systems from many makers. One of the more elaborate ones was the capeheart system. Wired remotes tended to be high end.

Post war there seemed to be fewer remote models till solid state had fully taken over....Though some TV/stereo consoles had the changer and possibly the stereo sometimes tied into the TV and remote... Magnavox had some top of the line model (concert grand?) Stereo console that used an ultrasonic remote.
