Great! I'll go to Radio Shack and do the same!
However, is there a specific wire to use for soldering? I have no idea for that kind of thing.

I just fixed my radio. I soldered it right to the circuit board like Travis did. My only disappointment is that it'* not as bright as it used to be in the daylight. But now I have my clock back so I'm happy
