A replacement more modern McIntosh branded remote can be had for $99.00-129.00. You can order from Audio Classics. My MCD301 SACD player had a gummy and sticky remote, AC replaced mine free of charge because I purchased it there. You are wasting your time trying to clean up the old remote, believe me I tried.
That funky sticky remote
Ok so we’ve all over time had one of those remotes that just deteriorates and gets sticky
i have a Mc c46 many moons old that has a perfect remote.
but my newer mx150 remote already has gone the way of the Chinese rubber.
I almost thought of taking it apart and maybe clear coating it.
anyone ever screwed around w solving this kind of issue ?
thanks !!!!! And happy listening
