I have had for some time a Philco "Mystery" Remote Radio Control. A Philco 39-116RX World's Fair radio just popped up some 2.5 hours from where I live.

Is it worth the effort to go 5 hours both ways to get it? Do these remotes really work with the radios to change stations remotely? Or, was it just a gimmick used by Philco to sell radios?

I'm pondering if it is worth the trouble. Thanks for any insight.

Scott
