Once the radio is out of the dash you should be able to clean up the cubicle and contacts. Maybe well enough to hide the original coffee spill?.....No, I didn't really suggest that!
The radio can probably be cleaned too. A radio/electronics repair tech can remove the cover, discharge any voltage sources, power wash the chassis (Yes, with water!), then autoclave it for a few hours to bake out the remaining water. Electrical Engineering labs on campuses often take this approach with all "failed" electronics. It solves the problem 90+% of the time, and the gear is clean for the few remaining devices which actually require repair!
There is a music shop in Ypsilanti called "Fast Eddies" which has a free-lance electronics guy come in weekly to pick-up lost causes for repair. He fixed an old tape player for me at a bargain basement rate.
Good Luck.
