My R1-model remote for my Quad 66 pre-amp seems to be dying after more
than 20 years of service.
Finding a new one for this great one is problematic -- does anyone
know whether more recent Quad system remotes are compatible with the
66 unit?

This may be a shot in the dark for you, but I found that the Radio
Shack Universal Remote works with about everything, including Revox.
It was not listed on the included instruction sheet, but a 5-minute
(really) call to their Customer Service number for the remote - done
*in* the store - established the compatibility.

You might try that.

Interestingly enough, the R/S control is smaller and more intuitive
than the Revox control and has additional functions not on the Revox
control which almost unbelievably, work!

It was $29.99 at the time. The price may have come down some.

A google using:

quad replacement remote audio

finds the first or so few hits addressing this exact question.

Thanks for that ... I'll check it out. My google searches for
replacements have been unproductive and Quad itself is simply not
answering ....
