Replacement Remote Control For Cary SLP 05 Preamp

Hi
I was wondering if anyone has successfully replaced their remote control for the SLP 05 with a generic one or a universal learning remote and care to share their experience.
I have the old small 3 button one that only does volume up, down and mute. It is becoming a tad unresponsive lately and I presume it cannot be repaired.

Cary only stocks a full feature one where all the other functions are redundant for the SLP 05 and it costs $125 plus shipping.
Just wondering if I can replace it more cost effectively.
Thanks

My Direct TV remote had some dead buttons and then it stopped working period (we do have a spare though).

I tried various batteries, contact cleaner, burying it in rice and even vacuuming the thing with no joy to come.

I finally tried slapping the holy crap out of it and now it's working like new.
