Should I accept it’s all knackered and live without a working radio or get one of those modern HU’s off eBay that will work?

Neither. I'd go for a "middle of the road" approach (no pun intended) and get the patch lead and facia adaptors then find a period head unit from the late 80s/early 90s and fit that.
At least you have the OE connectors so your job should be easier in that respect than mine was but don't forget many people would change the radios in their cars back then so a newer stereo than the car isn't going to look out of place.
