Do You Remember?

Wally I have to admit we had one with the cable operated remote control.... Plenty flash for the time

I was a colour TV technician back then & there were no 'cable operated' Rank Arenas. All of their remotes in those days were ultrasonic & they went infra red in the 80s.

Rank Arena TVs (which were re-badged NECs) didn't come to the Aust market until 1974/75 for the start of colour TV on Mar 1 1975.

The old cable remote TVs were around in the mid 60s on top end black & white TVs, like Kreisler etc.

I miss having servos on virtually every suburban corner, remember brands like Amoco, Ampol, Atlantic, Neptune, Golden Fleece, COR, Total, Esso, Fleetwing.
