The buttons on Zenith’s original ‘clicker’ TV remote were a mechanical marvel <— yes pls stop with the giant hundreds of buttons remotes. The ones for my TV and amplifier are huge and I only ever use the on/off and volume controls.
And I’m old enough to be envious of neighbors who had these TVs. You could hear the hammer strike the metal anvil but not the actual sound it produced. Then I’d go back home to our sad old Sears B&W tv where I was the “remote” for my parents. https://www.theverge.com/23810061/zenith-space-command-remote-control-button-of-the-month
