You can have Dr Don's repair the radio.
If it has the cassette player slot you can buy an MP3 interface cartrige that will allow you to play MP3 throught your radio.
Since my '88 has only the cassette I/F I picked up the interface cartrige on ebay for a few bucks and now listen to MP3 tunes in my Vette. It works very well indeed.

I replaced my cassette deck with a Pioneer CD stereo. It has a large amp in the storage area and speakers that mount in the stock speaker holes. I still have all the original Bose stuff in storage. You can always change it back later.

I felt the same way about keeping the car stock. Right up until the time I had to get new speaker amps for the 2nd time in 4 years. I ditched the bose for a Sony head unit and infinity speakers, keeping the wiring in place should I ever suffer a severe head injury and want the bose back.
Unless you're headed for an NCRS judging, a non stock radio is no big deal.....

pioneer is the way to go
on my 86, I have kept everything stock except the stereo, I'm sorry but it is not woth the $$ to keep that archaic stereo in my car. I also kept everything I took out. I used all the stock wiring, just pulled the amps, made my own brackets to hold the speakers, have a beautiful stereo for about 1/10 the cost of replacing the faulty amps & head unit.

The Forum has an Audio section, go there and read the C4 sticky at the top of the page; lots of good info there.
When my Bose took a dump, I was going to get it fixed, but after reading of all the problems people have down the line, i just replaced mine. Sounds and looks much better.

(some discs work others don't) because you might get it backed fixed but not able to play your discs.
