Up for sale is a vintage 1939 Philco Mystery Control wireless radio remote, associated with the 1939 Philco 39-116RX and other Philco Mystery Control radios.
This is the famous early wireless remote control that allowed the owner to operate the radio from across the room. It features the distinctive telephone-style rotary dial and original vintage wood/bakelite-style housing.
This unit is being sold AS-IS and UNTESTED. I do not have the original Philco radio available to test the remote, so I cannot guarantee that it is functional.
