My home was reciently broken into. They stole the usual kind of things (vcr's, TV's, Stereos) and every Remote control. I guess they figured to take them all and sort it out later. I have the Homeminder remote control system sold by Radio Shack but Radio Shack claims they can not get me a replacement remote. Does anybody out there have a Dead Homeminder system with a good remote they would be willing to sell? Failing that does anyone have a working homeminder box they would be willing to let me borrow for a few days so I could train a universal remote? (I would be willing to pay postage both ways). -- George Rachor Jr. Rachor Data Center, Beaverton, OR 97005 racsys!george@flight.hf.intel.com

The Radio Shack Homeminder is the same as the GE Homeminder. You could talk to
them.

One of our remote controls (One for All) could be set up to handle the
Homeminder without access to the original remote.

That's probably because they don't know what a Homeminder is. Homeminder is the
General Electric trade name for the X10 system, Radio Shack sells them under the
Plug and Power trade name. You should be able to get a replacement from Radio
Shack National Parts, or a replacement directly from X10 Inc. I believe what
you're looking for is the RT504 Radio Transmitter. Contact X10 Inc. by calling
them at 1-800-526-0027.

If you are unable to come up with a solution you could use my remote (it spits out codes for both th TV and the HM) give me a call (216)646-3315 -- ################ # # # MARK C. # # # ################

I had contacted Radio Shack National parts and even given the catalog part number they could not produce a remote. To all the other replies offering me the use of their remote to train a universal thanks. George -- George Rachor Jr. Rachor Data Center, Beaverton, OR 97005 racsys!george@flight.hf.intel.com
