This will be a long shot…

Looking for the Krell Audio + Video Standard remote.
The large black one made from billet aluminum.

Putting my AVS back into the system and my remote is nowhere to be found, dang it.

Have contacted Krell awaiting an answer. Not confident at all there are any to be found.
These were built around late 90’s to early 2000’s?

My rant,
It’s easier to find a hen’s tooth in the mouth if a unicorn’s over-bite, at the end of a rainbow, being corrected with Invisalign orthodontics than one of these remotes 🤯

    Lol

    I've seen this before. Allow me to assist.

    Check the following:
    1. Couch cushions
    2. Freezer
    3. Inside a bag of Doritos
    4. In a safe, obvious and conspicuous place that you're sure to remember, just so you wouldn't lose it.
    5. Inside an acoustic guitar (contract MIT to extract; I saw recently that they're good at guitar picks and remotes)
    I disabled signatures.

    I want to know how you contacted Krell, since the owner died last summer and nobody has even got an answer about their Krell equipment that is in for service that's being held hostage.

    Sent an email and got this response,

    Think they also said something regarding what you’re talking about and they responded with….
    We’ve been away for a while and will soon be responding to get caught up.

    Not positive on the wording, will have to find that to be specifically correct.

    Maybe something will happen in the near future???

    Must have been dreaming….

    Mmmmmeeeee…..

    Also Vassoler
    Skip is my nickname given by my parents. No middle name.

    Damn spell check, Aldo.

    And, I use skipshot as my handle on most sites I’ve joined.
    Skipshot because I played racquetball, for 45 plus years, and I used to skip the ball a lot.

    This is my dog Skip. 1973 - 1988

    I don't remember him playing racquetball, but he was the local motocross champion in 1975 and 1976 and he scored 23 goals in ice hockey for the month of March 1977.

    Hello Skip, nice to meet you.

    Bahahaaaaaa…… made me raff.

    I remember that commercial.

    I thought my name was pretty rare. My Dad’s father & mother both immigrated from northern Italy. The connection to Austria & Garmany is where Aldo was derived from, the surname Aldophus. Don’t fry me on that spelling. My Dad’s name was Aldo too, I’m a junior.
    But, I went to school with a girl in Florida, from 2nd grade to our hs graduation and her name was Alda.

    That was just in probate court on the 19th of February I believe, kris D'Agostino won control of Krell.

    Found this Krell remote and purchased @ $250 for any future references.

    Not sure how to mark this as completed but it is.

    I just sent in my Krell Evolution 505 to Steve Javaherian for service. A very pleasent gentleman to talk to. Steve J. is working on all the CD spinners Krell made and he got all the parts in the warehouse to make it happen. Another Steve is working on all the power amp stuff. Both worked at Krell for years, they know the ends and outs of all the gear.

    If I were able to swing it I'd love a Krell FBI & a 505.
    I'd be selling gear to land that combo.

    Stephen Leckrone, at The Service Department. IIRC, once upon a time he was a service manager at Krell. When I had my Krell KSA-250 crackling, I contacted him. He said try banging on the rear of amp with closed fist. It went away. He said the output relay contacts needed cleaning. He also provided some solid advice on a Krell KRC-HR pre I purchased with ladder volume control issues.

    Steve said he had a huge load bank where he put the amp into full output to clean the contacts. I had to disassemble and clean them.
