I have the Ultrasonic remote and also have found a TR149 15v battery to power it. It works fine, 4 whopping presets or change to phono.

My folks only had 2 stereos I remember, a Magnavox from a Dept. Store, that was like a four legged box, sliding door, multi record changer. Then they bought this baby went with a pair of KEF speakers and had a shop build them a stand. They were not wealthy but knew this was good entertainment. They had it forever, it became mine after Ma passed away.

They enjoyed good music, big band,  choral, orchestral, loooved the Boston POPS and Boston Symphony. Good tastes for a utilty worker and his wife, they read a lot and were well educated despite never attending college.

  I never really cared much for the styling of Bang and Olefson equipment, but I do know that the older stuff was like Fisher, well designed and well made, then they dumbed things down by the 80s until it was just a badge engineered product. The Magnavox cabinet stereos were quite good, the ones that were all U.S built that is, thought they more resembled a casket with speakers then a four legged box, much like B & O and Fisher they too went downhill after they started badge engineering imported products.
