The motorized tuning may have screw adjustment that stop the tuner mechanically. You will need to tweek these if tampered to work properly. My mom years ago got an old 60's motorla B/W set w/similiar type tuner. Had one of those "Clicker" metal remotes that clicked two metal pieces that make noise to actuate tuner in TV. I wish still had set. These really are a marvel of engineering. Let's see, COLOR and REMOTE, is there anything else someone could want out of television???? Early remote televisions are even rarer!! I almost bidded on this but was too far away. Good luck on restoration, pics please!! ENJOY
