Items for sale without remotes.


Believe what you like and Buyer beware.   Most that live in cities of any size have pawn shops.  AudiogoN seems to have very few items for sale without remotes, but a few.  ebay and pawn shops have many items being sold without remotes.  If you choose to believe that audiophiles are forgetful slobs that loose remotes routienly, then good for you.  However I have never bought a used piece of high end audio gear without remotes and have never sold one that way either.   And it you believe that nicer high end items are never stolen, then I have an island in NYC I would like to sell you, and a used Porsche Speedster that a little old lady only drove to church on Sundays.

I once tried to invent a remote that would work on your mate, but only two functions.....volume and mute.  It never got into production but I did get a good amount from  a company for the idea.  
Damn Duracell batteries!   Leaked and ruined a number of my remotes.  No other brand over the last 30 years ever leaked no matter how cheap or no brand they were.  Bastards
Duracell, you mean "the copper top battery".  Wow was the world ever that simple minded that your main push on marketing a battery was the color on the upper side of the battery.  I guess Audio Research should have marketed their early items as the "Silver front with black handles gear"
Never had a problem with Duracell. But I do have a drawer full of remotes that I have no idea what component they’re for...
