Finally found a factory radio...

...and when I opened the box I found that the screen had broken during shipping!





Does anybody have any idea where I can find a replacement? I already tried emailing Delphi (which owns Delco) with no luck. They don't provide service parts to consumers.

well id say your out of luck with that radio... because the display is busted. Ive been to many a junk yard lookin for the stock cd player 90-92 style for my bird and have seen a few of those... so if u want that perticular radio you shouldnt have too much trouble scoopin one up for less than 40 bucks..

I used to have one of those. I tossed it in the garbage because I didn't have the steering wheel controls, so the display just said "LOC"

Go to your local GM dealership parts counter and tell them that you want it sent off to be refurbished. I did this with my factory CD deck. There is a 3rd party company that bought all of the parts from Delco and they do the work. They replace all internals and buttons/face plus much more. It will be a new unit inside and out. It ran me between $300-$400 but I'd do it again in the heartbeat. My factory CD has been running every moment of driving for the last 70K miles and still works great!

Have you tried m and r electronics. They sell factory radios. Dunno what they can do, if anything, but maybe they can help.
Delco , Ford , and Chrysler Radio Wholesaler , M & R Electronics is one of the largest Delco radio distributors in the Country

that radio is pretty common. was used in GTAs, STEs, grand prix and so on. alot of the larger junk yards have those collecting dust in the back. I even sold some on here for 5.00 a pop just to see them leave

Thanks, I'm going to have to look into it a little deeper.
