I had to do some remote control research for my ntsc/pal capable CRT TV, since I lost my remote.
Remotes Replaced
http://www.linkwebb.co.uk makes generic remote clones with exactly the needed infra red codes to operate your old TV. They charge only 10 British pounds, and airmail is 3.50 pounds. They have international shipping =18USD all together (remote+airmail)
This isn't a commercial. I was searching 7 years for a remote for my CRT, and I found one there.
