Default radio?

Digital read out went blank last night. Anywhere to get the components to fix it?

Probably a lot cheaper and easier to find a used one or go aftermarket radio.

Component/components shouldn't be that expensive and I could install them myself.

I'm not going to bother pulling this thing for a while if I can help it. If I can't get it fixed do you have any idea which aftermarket is closest to a direct fit? Not really looking for a bells and whistles set up. Can't see getting a used oem one and having it die to.
APPRECIATING the help.

I would look around online for a din size radio.A din mounting kit is about 20 bucks and if you want it super easy they sell a wiring adapter kit for 12 bucks and the new radio will go right in real easy.
