Nicely done.  Love the details.  Just one question - where can I get the replacement screen?

Instructions were PERFECT! Thank you. I found my replacement screen on ebay for $25, took a chance that it would work as stated by the seller. Otherwise I would have thrown the radio away.

I performed the repair as directed. It was easy especially if you have a plastic spung to work with. Problem comes from the new display once installed shows all the characters? Unplugged it and re-plugged but still stuck in all character test mode?
