Two years ago, I purchased a DMR660 Pride lift chair for my disabled
wife. A few weeks ago, the remote conked out, so I needed to purchase a
replacement.

Well, $191 later we have our replacement. Allowing for labor, the
service call, and tax, the remote itself was $110.

If this happens again (we were told that remotes often need to be
replaced every couple of years), I'd like to know if there is a more
affordable solution. I've been searching on the Net for dealers who sell
these parts, but so far I've come up empty. I would also like to get my
hands on a service manual.

It is my understanding that Pride doesn't manufacture their chairs;
rather they assemble Chinese components. The remote has very little
identification on it: the letters "CE" and a sticker with the
identification DWR1234L185.

If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears!

Are you talking about the standard wired control unit with the coily cord?

Yes, I am.

But our chair has two motors (for more positions), so the remote has a
two position switch (left-right) toward the bottom.

I'll see if I can take one apar this weekend and see what (probably generic)
switches are used. If you are a little handy know how to solder, maybe we can
figure out how you might repair thes things yourself for a lot less money.
