No. That's become quite the "urban legend". I've seen vintage ads for these which show the unit on a table and the woman in the ad touching the volume control/preset switch with her hand, not her foot.

Oh, I see your 49-901 had the usual great eBay seller packing. Icon_rolleyes I'll bet it was sent via USPS, too. It's a wonder it wasn't in worse shape when you received it.
