I remember our first TV with a remote control. It was literaly a "Clicker". It had a mettallic thing in it when you pressed a button that made a noise, similer to the "crickets" the allied troops used during the D-Day invasion to keep from shooting each other in the dark. When ever the TV heard the click it would change the channel up by one. You couldn't change the volume, or turn the tv on or off IIRC, just change the channel up by one. Was pretty cool at the time though. What was really funny was our dog had these big metal dog tags and when he'd scratch the jingling was close to the sound the remote made and the TV would start flipping channels.

I remeber those too! LOL on your dog penny candy was like 5 for it .10 for Snickers bar (bigger too) Ahhh those were the days
