There was just a nice one on AudioGon a few weeks ago, but it is gone. Maybe someone will ring in, I will keep my eye open for you. Good luck

thanks very much ! they are out there but not easy to find, would consider the 5 disc 390T but apparently they are even harder to come by

There is one of each on e-prey now. The asking prices are pretty rediculous though.

it is rare to see the orginal remote. I picked up a 390T and it arrived damaged. Local shop looking at it now.
Wish this one had come up a few weeks ago. It will be highly interesting to see what price it sells for with the original remote

the drawer was jammed with a cd stuck in and the open close button had been pushed in. Unit powers up fine.
Seller also sent a learning remote, useless unless you have the orginal to clone it. Will know in a couple of days if the unit works. So far the guys at Ring Audio in Toronto are ok with the repair but waiting on the final estimate.
Truly is a shame what some people will do to fine audio equipment
