Most of the Sony remotes had a slide rule tuner in these days like on the 19 & 21 inch sets. Also used the same hand unit.
Funny thing is for all its engineering Sony was late with varactors & random access ( RAT ) keyboard tuners. You could get it all on a cheap GE.

I was actually recently chatting with someone about how I don't remember seeing rotary varactor tuners on the Japanese brand TVs (Sony, Hitachi, etc).
I'm sure they existed (clearly...this TV right here) but all I ever saw was the old ratchet tuners, followed immediately by the pushbutton preset style varactor tuners.
On the flip side I remember seeing a bunch of RCAs with the rotary varactor tuners, and a few Zeniths.
