Many Sony remotes years apart will work just fine.
Remote on the left official standard.
Sony remotes of the same decade should work.
Agree on the RCA audio output, that is how my Sony TVs are setup for the external stereo amp. Be sure to set the external audio out from Fixed to Variable in the Menu. My Remote controls volume and mute simultaneous to internal speakers and external stereo. This has an advantage of kicking on the stereo for movies or just the TV speakers for the morning news.

I don't know if I just got lucky, or if this is something that'll work most of the time.
The pictures show the range of Remotes that work on the WEGA CRT series. The newer slim design black one on the right actually came with a Sony LCD, works fine on the WEGA CRT!
If your Trinitron has TWO RF inputs, be sure the Remote has an ANT button, the regular input button only switches the various inputs and whichever RF was set by the ANT button. Nice thing about the two RF input is the second RF can be set to an older console (no switchbox needed) such as an Atari and channel set to default to 3.
