Thanks for all the replies guys.

I‘ve done a little lateral thinking, and I think I should be able to
pick up a scrap desktop PC with functioning PSU for next to nothing.

A little mollification, And I should be able to slot the head unit in
the front of it, and the record deck will sit on top 11::^*))

Be aware that the PSU may not work without a dummy load on the 5V

A standard desktop one will. You'll find details of what pins to bridge to
fire it up etc by Googling.

Do remember many car radios need a permanent 12v feed for their station
memory, etc.

The other problem may be matching an external aerial to a car radio. And
it may have separate inputs for FM and DAB.

You might also have ground loop problems connecting it to a domestic amp.
