Just do what my friend and I do... order the service manual, find the
remote lines, cut them, and splice (via some electronics) into the
buttons on your non-remote equipment.  This is very easy to do for anyone
with *any* electronics experience and a lot better than buying lots of
cheap rack equipment.
