Go to WalMart, or any similar discount store with an electronics department (area). RCA makes several "universal" remotes that can control several devices. Any RCA brand universal remote should have a code in it to work your VCR. You shouldn't have to spend more than $20. Other brands of universal remotes should also work your RCA VCR. Usually they have a list of the supported devices on the back of the packaging. Check to make sure the RCA brand is included.

I recently bought an out-of-box RCA TV at walmart. Since they couldn't find it's original remote, they gave me an RCA 3-in-1 universal off the shelf. Works great.
