Sure do, I was only in one though. It was basically a dressed-up K-car. A K-based New Yorker I think.

Hi Console User,

Have you tried sam's ? https://www.samswebsite.com . I believe you can find what you are looking for there.

^ I think he may be speaking of the owner's manual, which will be a tougher find.

By the way, that remote uses a J-battery.

Yes, I think most american company had a try at those speaking car, great times

But I got to admit it's probably just nostalgy (I was born in 82)

(how is that for a tread hijacking...?)

Yes, this particular remote takes the ''J" Style Battery. I had the remote but it quit working. I don't know if the place I sent it to will be able to repair it or not. They thought maybe they could get it working.

So you bought one from the listing I pointed out? I noticed that one of those available was sold since my posting.

Same here really, I'm just one year older. Lots of 70s and 80s sets around when I was a kid.

Yes, I did go in and buy one of the remotes. Thank You for the Ebay Link.

With J battery remotes clean the battery contacts well. Zeniths
with J's would grow tinny crystals on one of the contacts,
go intermitant & then die. We would "scratch them up" with a
sharp tool.

Can anyone tell me what is causing my 1986 RCA Color TraX Console Television to have a Solid Vertical Line on the very Right Side of My Picture Tube. It isn't noticeable unless you get real close to the T.V. and look for it. However, it is much more noticeable when you turn to a station that isn't broadcasting. Also, sometimes I think it isn't even there or it goes away with time. I have also noticed a similar line at the very top of the Picture Tube going horizontal. When I adjust the Horizontal/Vertical on the set it does away with the line at the top, but then it sometimes cuts off lettering on the very bottom of the Picture Tube. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
