Hello all,

It starts like this. Wife is driving 91-745 on freeway with hot coffee in right hand. Traffic and Volvo come to a panic stop. Coffee does not. Coffee continues speed and direction into stock radio. Apparently lots of coffee enters into the cassett opening. I surmised this the next morning when I found the cassett in the radio was covered with frozen coffee(cold week in Minnesota).

Radio is shot. I want to replace it with a stock unit, however would like to locate salvaged unit to keep repair costs down. Any ideas on a source? Also any directions on replacement. It should be a no brainer with the right tools.
Since I am a no brainer, all I lack are the tools, radio and instructions. Any guidance is appreciated.

91-745, 97-855

FYI the heated seat switchs weathered the flood, coffee glacier and glacier removel just fine. In addition to the cassett frozen in the radio the AT shifter was frozen in park and it took an hour with the car running and a hair dryer to free. A month later everything is fine with the exception of the radio.
