[s-type] LCD radio/clock backlit fading

Hello S-Type owners. My Panel LCD radio/clock numbers and
letters are half showing. I took it in to Jag fir an
estimate:$1,000+. I am seeking a foreign mechanic for a
cheaper price. I may get a new Jag next year. Does this
price seem reasonable… Seems rediculous to me?–

In reply to a message from Babydoll sent Fri 17 Aug 2012:

The dealer quoted the price for a new radio.
As I recall taking the radio out was not all that hard.
There are two wood grain cover pieces on the sides shaped
like half a rain drop, and one on the bottom. You pop those
out gently with a knife and then there are some screws to
remove and the radio slides out. You then disconnect some
connectors.
I would search the web and see if there is a radio repair
shop you can send it to.–
