radio removal from Milano

["Bill Bain" <bill_bain@domain.elided>]

She Who Must Be Obeyed is permitting me to buy a Milano.  The one I've found 
is just about perfect, BUT the radio doesn't work at all.  Since a 
workingradio is one of her three conditions (working A/C, working radio, 
passes emissions), I'm incented to get this glitch worked out. Thoughts:

My understanding is that Milano radios had some funky anti-theft code and if 
the battery was ever disconnected, the code had to be reset. To get the 
code, one had to get the radio S/N and call somewhere.  I suspect that I 
would have to get the radio out to get the S/N, so how hard is it to do 
that?

Once the radio is out, the thought occurs to me that simply replacing it 
with a modern CD player one would be an option (no more code!), so I'm back 
to square one -- how much of a nightmere is it to get the radio out?

TIA!
