Remotes, the biggest bitch in audio. (except Justin Berber)
First of all an older unit the newer universals might not hit. In fact probably won't hit. And B&K, US made ? Fat chance.
I can fix remotes. You might want to try that. You say it has output but is weak ? Well in that case, if you put it right up to the receiver on the unit will it work ? That would be a very good sign.
But if the signal is very weak that indicates a problem, A problem. therefore it is most likely the IRED in it is going bad. I can probably scare one up around here, if I have to order one well, I was thinking about it anyway to have some in stock so you don't have to pay all the shipping.
So, what I'll do is;
You ship it to me. that, if you do it right should be like $7. Possibly less. With US the base insurance is $100. For that you can probbly buy one.
Anyway I get it, either I can find the right IRED around here or order it, either way about $35, maybe $30. Then you will reimburse my shipping back.
If I can't repair it I will just send it back at my expense.
Your call.
Still, repairing a remote is no fun, if you can just get one, have you looked ? I have a guy who can find almost anything. Want me to call him ? He is, I shit you not, in a sleep study, but damn it is almost 3:00.
If you wanna, let me know.
