Just my $0.02 -

Take the money you were going to spend on fixing the 15-yr old Becker and apply it to a new aftermarket unit. The Becker can then be used for its best purpose, a brilliant doorstop.

Great aftermarket units include Alpine, Blaupunkt, Nakamichi, etc. There are many designs to choose from and you can always find one that will match your taste/car interior.
