Zenith Space Command

So, I have a new obsession. Namely The Space Command line of Zenith Televisions from the mid 1950s until the late 1970s. They're pretty sweet as they use a technology that Zenith developed, the Space Commander ultrasonic Remote Control. The remote technology which you can learn more about here (http://www.pushclicktouch.com/2007/03/28/zenith-space-command-the-first-20-years/) uses ultrasonic sound to control the TV. Here's a picture of one of the SC remotes that I have.


I currently do not have any Zenith Space Command TV sets, but I do have a Sears ultrasonic Remote TV set, and hope to get at least one Zenith SC TV set in the future. If you're interested in learning more about Zenith TVs of this period, I highly suggest checking out Doug's videos on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=drh4683.

Have a lovely day everybody.
