    Repair worn Select button?

    Archived from groups: alt.video.ptv.replaytv (More info?) Anyone know of a way to repair a worn-out Select button on a Panasonic ShowStopper (i.e. early Replay) remote? Anyone tried the Philips PMDVR8 remote, which promises complete Replay compatiblity? TIA! Rick
