repair or replace luxman preamp

1991 system, luxman tp 117 preamp, luxman dc 117 multi disc cd player, adcom amp, powering kef bookshelf speakers in small family room, and 3 rooms with luxman inwall speakers.  Preamp no longer senses remote, limiting source selections.  Repair or replace?  Replacement rec?  Thanks.

Does anybody know a (reputable, experienced) shop on the East Coast that can re-cap a Luxman R117 ??

Check out cost to get an estimate on repair, if not to high then get the estimate, then decide. Your pre is 25 years old and probably need capacitor replacement and other deeds done in the process.

Thanks.  Remote replaced.  Preamp does not respond, additional ir sensor, preamp does not respond.

or maybe a universal remote could be programmed for your unit

or... replace the entire pre-amp

First thing I would do is put a fresh set of batterys in the remote.

Are you sure the lack of 'communication' is due to the pre, could it not be the remote?
