Default 93 SC - Radio replacement?

My 93 SC has a non-op radio - the sound is not amplified any longer. With the volume turned to "Max" you can barely hear the sound. Any suggestions on a replacement radio/cassette player? The CD changer is in the trunk (of course.) I'm also selling the car so want to have this corrected before I sell. Thanks.

I would just replace whatever component is faulty with a used OEM part.

Thanks. Is radio removal a DIY item?

Most definately. I don't know all too much about audio, so someone else may have to chime in, but you have an amplifier as well, and that could be the culprit instead. Search a bit and see if anyone else had the same issue before you spend your had-earned cash on the wrong thing.

May not be the radio. I had a few different issues with my stock system. I expereinced the exact same problem you describe but the problem was a blown amp. The location of the stock amp is also a place condensation settles resulting in a rusted bottom of the amp. Before long...poof! No more amp. By your statement that you have no sound, I assume you have a Nakamichi stereo system? If so, check amp first. If you have Pioneer system, which uses 2 amps, then check radio.
