Lost Remote Controls

I’m guessing that everyone here has lost a remote control to something at some stage but have any of you managed to get a replacement from anywhere? Not one of those “One 4 All” things where you type in a code for the make and everything–a proper one like the one that came with your device.

I’ve lost the remote to my CD player and it has some insane functions like lighting and functions for the slide cover that can only be operated with the original remote–I don’t think a “One 4 All” could do those tasks.
