 Philco Mystery Control Unit

Ever wonder what that strange box was in Grandma's attic that looked like a telephone with no handset? There were no wires attached and it had radio stations around the dial instead of numbers. When you opened it up you saw what looked like a small radio inside, but no speaker or knobs. What is this thing, you ask?

You've discovered one of Philco's fairly successful inventions - The Mystery Control! The Mystery Control is a wireless remote control unit for one of 11 different Philco console radios and radio-phonos manufactured from 1939 through 1942.

Read on, and it won't remain a mystery for long . . . .
