50th radio - repair ?

Hi, my newly acquired 50th has the original LR radio cassette intact but it is faulty.

Back lighting for the switches turns on and off with power button but that’s it, no display, no audio.

Ideally I would like to retain it and have it working but would also be great if it could be modified to accept Bluetooth.

Does anybody know of a company that does this ?

Thank you, I did find this chap but he’s only interested in 1970’s or older.

On facebook there is a chap called "the shack" (I think) he repairs amateur radio kit, maybe someone like him would be able to resolve the issue? 1999 Defender TD5 110

I'm pretty sure classic car audio do a hidden bluetooth amp that is easily hidden and works with existing speakers etc.
