WANTED: A remote control for my Audio Research CD1.


A leaky battery killed the remote for my ARC CD1 CD player. I tried cleaning the contacts but I think some acid got into the works. Found nothing on eBay or Amazon so here I am, hoping to get lucky.

The Harmony remotes work on my AR LS-16 but only a few of the functions. You cannot change inputs with the Harmony. Pretty much just volume. So a Harmony helps but it is not the complete solution. AR does not stock old model remotes.....not that old anyway.

Have not been able to find a real AR remote for my unit on the internet anywhere.

The Harmony 650 has the ability to "learn" commands from an existing remote. So if the OP can find anyone with a functioning remote that he could borrow - such as from a dealer - he'd be back in business.
@n80: I appreciate your suggestion but the odds of finding an ARC dealer within 500 miles are pretty low. And what are the odds that any dealer will have a remote for a unit this old?
