Worthy of a separate room reserved for wealthy clients Philco would rank top of the range in both features and price. Philco Remote Control was something almost beyond belief.  Imagine being told you could sit comfortably in your armchair and use a dial like the one on your rotary phone to change radio stations. No need to peer into a crowded dial, you will see your station identified in one of the display indicators, The display shows you the station number from right across the room, wait, there is more - just a gentle tap on the remote control and the volume will increase with every tap. If this was not enough to complete the sale, the client would see how they could even turn the power to the set off, with just one more control press. The switch off point is chosen and set to be just above your selected listening volume.
