This blog began as a gathering spot for discussion and images pertaining to vintage television remotes - what we once called the clicker. We are now focusing on 1950s and 1960s home-tech and whatever else comes to mind. From the TV remote and movie projector to Toast-R-Oven and the electric blanket. Please join in posting!

Another RCA
Well, here we are with another RCA unit. I just bought this one today and when it arrives I will let you know about the guts. It truly is amazing as to how attractive the Zenith units are in comparison to all others.

RCA 'clicker'
Here is a RCA "Wireless Wizard" remote control unit. As you can see it utilizes the same technology as the Zenith Space Commander. But while the 'guts' may resemble each other, this unit lacks the trim lines and beauty of Zenith.

RCA Magic Brain
I've been searching for a new clicker and just came across this 1955 advertisement touting the RCA Magic Brain remote.
As RCA controlled NBC, their ads often had a cross-pollination to them - here they are asking viewers to watch Howdy Doody, Milton Berle and Martha Raye.
