If you want a new CD player unit, buy a $100 one, they don't have all the "features" to match the LED windshield squirters, underbody neon, etc. Most of them work quite fine, and I think have the same guts in them as the $300 units. If they crap out you buy another one. I have put 3 or 4 of these in various cars, including the TD, they work fine and take maybe an hour or two to install (mostly finding spkr wires). Check the Sunday paper for ads, sometimes you can even get them cheaper. Then get some $50/set speakers, which will be lots better than the originals. More than that price is overwhelmed by the sweet diesel sound.

The 92 300TDt has a nice becker mexico shortware/longwave/AM/FM/ Traffic radio in it. Problem is the lights are burned out, and my wife says it crackles. It's a head unit, with amp in the back. I'm wondering here if I should spend the $$ to have it serviced via becker usa, or replace it?

Thoughts on this are welcome, a quick visit to crutchfields showed most choices today require me to get better corrective lenses and attempt to press wee buttons and watch swirling graphics, somehow I'm not in their target purchasing group.
