Found this one on ePay from across the pond; wonder how many months it take to get it..

UK to US international usually doesn't take very long. Usually 3/4 of the Time-In-Transit happens once it clears US customs. Points for The Royal Mail, but not for USPS.
But realistically, you've gotten this far, and found the fault, so why not just fix it yourself?
You could just use conductive epoxy (think "circuit-writer pen") to fix it, maybe.
Actually, instead of spending
money on a circuit-writer pen, grab one of these, same stuff...

I think you're going to get the best price on A9, but if you have various auto parts stores along your normal travel paths it wouldn't hurt to stop in and see.
Loctite also makes a similar kit.
This is slightly better engineered stuff than the "conductive wire glue" that thinkgeek sells, that stuff won't hold up to defogger grid repair, but might hold up to your radio. The automotive stuff will hold up to your radio just fine, guaranteed.
