I looked at the eBay listing for a Zenith SC400 remote kit. They want $999.99 for the thing, which, I am sure, is much more than an entire Zenith b&w non-remote console sold for in the early fifties. I tried to save the image of the remote kit, but no luck.
This is not a Lazy Bones kit, but the entire SC400 remote control system including the hand control box and drive motor. It is in as-new condition, so it may well have been intended as a replacement or a retrofit kit for a non-remote set.
The SC400 is not the rarest of the rare as far as TV remotes go, but still, just one penny under a grand for an opening bid is nuts. Even the gold-colored Computer Space Command hand units I've seen on eBay don't have opening bids anywhere near that high, for crying out loud! I think the seller is simply trying to get as much money as he/she can from this auction. If this were a CT-100 or one of the first CTC-series RCA roundie color TVs I could see an opening bid that high, but good grief, not for a remote control kit.
