Is it worth it?

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
