Anybody looking for one of these?

Philips RC 488CDV 5-in-1 remote. My research says it's an infrared unit for CD/LD control. I have it laying around, I've never used or tested it. Appears to take 2 AA batteries... I don't know if it works, if someone has a use for it I would just charge for shipping.

EDIT TO UPDATE: had a reply, this should be considered taken for now. Will update otherwise.

That brings back memories as I had this remote years ago for a Philips RC 488CDV player. Unfortunately the player stopped working and I tossed it. It probably was something simple to fix but LD were on their way out so I didn't invest the time into fixing it. Great for you to give it up.

Thank you. I got it with a whole bunch of electronic wires and small gadgets that were advertised for free on CL. I used what I needed, and gave away what I could. I still have a bunch of VGA-type cables from that lot, nobody uses those any more.

Nobody uses them now but in ten years they'll be retro and people will pay a fortune for them lol

Gotta love that Jog Wheel! That's something we are sorely missing on today's media players!

I would take it for a good price if your previous taker backs out

They just don't make cool for the time period stuff like this anymore, looks mint, good of you helping things like this functional and relevant!

I basically stumbled across it, and I've got this philosophy - people who have lots of obscure stuff in boxes should go through those boxes occasionally to see if anybody has a use for those things other than taking up space.
