Hi Tony - I asked Jorge Rivera at Rock-ola and he just responded with this: “There was a long time ago. It was a garage door opener style with four buttons and the kit consisted of a piece in the power supply, button style with power on/off, receiver and remote. Unfortunately that kit has obsolete for quite some time and no new kit was developed. As a result you can extend the dial volume control to a different spot instead of behind the jukebox. There might be a wired dial volume control with wireless remote. I’ll have to check it out.”

Is there a kit to add a wireless remote to this? It doesn't have to be one of the fancy ones that you can make selections with, just a volume, cancel, and maybe an On/Off.

Thanks,

Replying to myself, I'm thinking of making one since I don't see any anywhere. A start would be a Seeburg motorized volume control (maybe a Wurlitzer one), some relays (a latching one for power on/off) and an RF frequency 4 channel remote and receiver that are found all over the internet. This would be for my own Antique Apparatus I just put in the house. I just recalled installing an 80's era Rock-Ola wired remote. That might be a better start, if I can find one. Any tips appreciated.

Oh wow – those are vintage Rock-ola for sure! I wonder if the Linear company that made the remote is the same “Linear” that made the collectible “Phase Linear” vintage amps?
