if that doesn't work out, I have my dad's Sony left over - it has a cd player, radio and cassette player and two large speakers. Oh and a remote control!
Sadly, you may not be able to get it fixed. Most modern electronics is built to be disposable, rather than fixable -- there may be not just "no user serviceable parts inside" but no serviceable parts inside at all. :(
Still, what is not working? Something like a loose connection may be able to be resoldered or something. But, finding a repair shop... that's still a problem, since nobody actually has these things repaired any more, there may not be such a shop.
I was talking more about fixing simple loose connections etc... they could probably do that, or recommend someone who can. Once you're onto the PCB... good luck.
yeah, likely unfixable. Note that it depends of what it is and how lucky, but the price of the hour of labor is too high (why do you think it is all made in china).
I have fixed a 1985 CD player with a bit of wire and a soldering iron: broken PCB near the power switch.
I have fix a Casio scientific calculator with a bit of liquid corrector in math class, using a swiss army knife for disassembly. Never been able to repeat the feat. I must have rolled a 20 that day.

The manufacturer's standard line is likely to be about what you said, though... cost of new unit = $200, cost of repair = $400.
