940 original radio does nothing - replace or fix?

Well actually it sort of glows dimly when turned on. No sound, nothing on the display.

Was hoping it might just need a code. On the other hand I do have a couple of spare aftermarket units doing nothing...

I ordered one of these thinking I might fit something else.

Been googling though and it looks like the original radio uses an external factory fitted amplifier etc. So maybe swapping is not straight forward? What about physically? Will a standard stereo fit in to the slot ok?

Welcome thoughts on what way to go. Not bothered about format as I still quite like cassettes and radio 4 but I am into music and hifi etc so would like decent ish sound.
