In 1935 thru 1947 MGM made a bunch of short subject (abt 20 min) under the title of Crime Does Not Pay. It also was a radio show and tv show in the '50s. In 1939 "Money To Lend" There's a 39-116 in the office of the head loan shark/gangster. It's dispatching the local new and being controlled by it's mystery remote. There are some other sets too.

I couldn't find any free links to the video but but if you have movie service you should be able to find it. I bought the set of DVDs a number of yrs ago.
When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's

Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
