Bought a Motorola Quasar tv back in the mid 70’s. It had. 2 button remote. Pushing the button, (actually a small lever) would cause a hammer to hit an aluminum bar causing a high frequency sound pulse. One button was for the on/off function IIRC and the second one would cause the tuning motor to advance the channel.

As mentioned rattling some keys would trigger the receiver also. Tech of the time!

Glad it’s come as far as it has.
