There is one radio that comes to mind, the 1939 Philco model 39-116. It was I believe, the first American built radio that had a wireless remote, the Philco Mystery Control. The remote had 1 tube in it and sent a signal to the radio at around 385khz. The control was able to turn the volume up and down, mute the radio, and select up to 8 preprogrammed stations (on the broadcast band only). The radio itself had 3 bands, broadcast and two shortwave ones. I have one, but unfortunately I don't have the Philco Mystery Control to go with it.
The radio isn't much to look at, but the remote was ahead of it's time.
