The reason that i asked is that there was a local guy ( Steve aka "Moneybuzz" ) that had been trying to sell one of these on Ebay for about a year. People would bid on the unit and then never follow through on the purchase. It just so happens that he also does a LOT of business selling remotes. You might try contacting him via Ebay's email system and see what he knows.
Other than that, i remember these machines when they first came out. The only cd players worth buying back then were the Kyo, ReVox and Nak units. Everything else i listened to way back when sounded like hell. Some players still do... Sean
