What RCA Did I Have?

Okay.... I have never run across a set like this again, and don't recall seeing one posted or talked about here. Am hoping any "RCA Guy" can chime in.
When I worked in my Uncle's shop, we got an odd trade in. I would say it was a circa 1957-1962ish era RCA B&W Console. What made it odd, is that it had a huge control panel with a built in clock. The control panel had these slide levers for each channel, so along the top of all the slide controls was the channels listed 2-13 and each lever could be slid to a preset time. So.. if you put it in auto mode, It would change channels at a certain time. It had a motor with a large belt that attached to the tuner IIRC, to change the stations. Set was NOT remote. Unfortunately the picture tube was about dead, so I remember messing with it in the back room, but could never talk my Uncle into ordering a picture tube for it.
Has anyone seen one of those. If so.. what model were they, and how long did RCA offer that feature?
