[edit] Wrong description!

That is not an early remote control. That is an early cable converter (something Jerrold made many of until being bought by General Instruments). In fact, as long as it is not broken, I bet it would still work even now for basic cable. We had one of these when I was a child. It has two coax female F connectors on the back, right? A remote control wouldn't have that...

High points for finding one of these and taking a picture of it... no points for misidentifying it. (I fear the day of late 20th century cryptoarchaeology may have arrived.)
