Fixing the original radio would be a restoration plus. You could work out a stealthy aux port as you repair so you might plug in a device and not be stuck with crap talk radio stations all the time. If you can't fix the radio, you could leave it in the dash and bypass it entirely with an aux cable for your phone. But the best is having the original unit installed at the factory in 1975 and still working. Pretty amazing after 45 years, if it can be fixed.

The scanned file looks like the two plastic rings in your photos that name the brake fluid. What am I not understanding? There is a missing piece of hardware?

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
