Aiwa CA-30 for parts $5 + S/H

Hello everyone. First off, I should introduce myself as I'm new here. I guess I've been a bit of a closet box collector, and never realized it, until I stumbled upon a GF777z a little while back. Anyways, I've come across a few boxes that I'm fixing up to keep or possibly sell. Among them is an Aiwa CA-30 that is non-operational. It blows the line fuse immediately upon plugging the unit into the wall. I then tried running it off batteries, but got a nice little plume of smoke.
And so it goes, this unit is pretty much DOA, and IMHO, not worth ordering up a service manual to repair. All buttons are intact save for a missing counter reset button, handle is here, and case is decent, although there is some discoloring on the back, yellowing from possible sun exposure I would guess. Right side speaker, though working, has broken screw posts inside. A little plastic repair or super glue, and you're back in business. Rather than throw it out, I figure it might be put to good use for someone looking to do a repair. I have also verified that both speakers are working.

I'm looking for a right side speaker to complete a working CA30 unit. Any idea what you would need for shipping? Having dismantled a few of these, it never hurts to have spare parts, they're 30 years old now.
