No model number but the functions it has and a photo in this brochure, scroll down to see the set and remote.

As its not a text tv, which is obsolete anyway, why don't you just get a so called universal one, even tuning isn't sweep. I generally hate these things but they have bailed me out once or twice. Surprisingly I can't find anything on Ebay.

That case styling of the TV suggests it is one of the earlier Thyristor PSU versions of the TX9 chassis, either a mk1 or 2. The original remotes were getting a bit thin on the ground even way back in the day, we mostly supplied new replacement ones manufactured by a third party.

Edit: just thought, is the remote on this early model ultrasonic ?

Just looking through my TX9 service manual, I think the remote is ultrasonic (U718 system). The TX9 section that covers this doesn't give a "T" number for the handset, which looks just like the one in the brochure page I posted earlier.

Definitely ultrasonic.

Ah well if it is ultrasonic then original only will be required.

Nah...just rattle your keys.;D

Or, look into the frequencies used and see what's possible with some Veroboard, some components and a project box.:)

My 9600 is ultrasonic but I managed to get a pattern remote from konig or philex or similar. Might be worth keeping an eye on ebay as I sometimes see great job-lots of such remotes NOS where someone's cleared out a shop or attic or what have you.

Hi Bigmike,

Are you still looking for a remote control? I have a DER labelled T718 ultrasonic model. Any good to you?

Best regards,

Peter.

Re: Ferguson movie star tv 3756
 
I offered you a T718 remote control back in July. Shall I assume you don't want it? Peter.
