Unknown RCA mechanical remote

[zeno]

It has the modern RCA logo. RCA used radio freq remotes
up to the late 60's IIRC. This looks ultrasonic.
With modern logo & 3 functions I would guess early to
mid 70's but not a higher end set, prob a portable.
Its got me curious so maybe tomorrow I will comb through a
few Sams & see what I find.

I think you have got electronically generated ultrasonic mixed up with RF remotes (which I've never heard of being used with TV).

All RCA remotes up through the 60's that I know of are ultrasonic...Electronically generated ultrasonic (switched transistor oscilator driving a small ultrasonic tweeter), but definitely ultrasonic.

Looks like mid 70's or so. Just before the XL100s came out.

OOPS You caught me on that one ! I must be mixing them up
with garage door openers. Sorry to give bad info, consider
the rumor squashed.
