Back in the 1990s we had a Daewoo radio casette player in our car. Using the Google image search, I tracked down the model: "Daewoo AKF-7331V" (the "AKF-7261V" is also very similar).
For some reason, this model was particularly tricky to find online.
Most breadcrumbs are on eastern European websites, especially on Polish websites.
Some online listings (expired or sold out):

Starting points for Internet history research:
For researchers of internet history, here is the search for the "BlaCk^D3v|L by maSSiccio" mIRC script, popular in the early 2000s.
I.
A web search for "mIRC script devil by maSSiccio" returned:
http://web.tiscali.it/theblob/download-big.htm
It links to "http://web.interpuntonet.it/bdevil/", which is available as archived in 2001:
https://web.archive.org/web/20010827101902/http://web.interpuntonet.it/bdevil/
This site has a download page for version 3.666, offering both an English and an Italian mirror, as well as an "addons and libraries" page, but no actual files are archived.
The Hotmail email address mentioned on the archived website is no longer active ("blackdevilscript").
II.
Another search result is, offering version 2.0
https://www.oocities.org/hhh2000_999/MIRC.htm
The download URL "http://216.234.161.131/files/5.6/bdevil.zip" has not been archived.
III.
Another search result, offering version 1.666
http://thelords.scriptmania.com/scripts/
The download page "http://www.mircscripts.com/cgibin/download.cgi?s=bdevil.zip&v=5.6" has been archived, but the actual file is not available.
IV.
The script is mentioned in old IRC logs from 2002, themselves worth keeping as part of internet history:
[22:38] charless (~19@195.113.65.246) left irc: BlaCk^D3v|L 4.0 S´SRvG by maSSiccio, http://www.blackdevilscript.net
[00:04] smallfly (~smallfly@ip4.ktvprerov.cz) left irc: BlaCk^D3v|L 3.666 by maSSiccio, http://www.blackdevilscript.com[source][archive]
The mentioned URL ("blackdevilscript.com") is archived and redirects to "blackdevilscript.areanews24.com" (also archived):
Again, there is a download page:
https://web.archive.org/web/20020213084635/http://blackdevilscript.areanews24.com/bdevil/download.php
The main installer is listed as "bdevil_40.exe", "bdevil40.exe" or "Bdevil30.exe", depending on the version. There are three versions: 3.0, 3.666, 4.0.
The installers for versions 3.666 and 4.0 served by this website have been archived on the Wayback Machine:

Note that antivirus software can mark these files as malicious, because they contain various tools used for offensive actions on IRC. They would be largely harmless today, but to stay on the safe side, and for the most authentic experience, you should only run these files safely inside a virtual machine.
VirusTotal reports:
My Acer Aspire 7741G laptop died (GPU issue), and so in a last ditch effort to recover it (the other components worked fine), I ordered a replacement motherboard from China. Even the guy from the repair shop was surprised it worked! This was two years ago (summer 2021), and the laptop still works.
The part is no longer available to buy from the same seller, but anyone interested in reviving dead laptops can probably still track one down.

Some code to help you clear it:
const sleep = t => new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, t));
async function purge() {
const nodes = document.querySelectorAll('input[type="checkbox"]:checked');
let i = 0;
for (const node of nodes) {
document.title = `${++i} / ${nodes.length}`;
console.log(new Date().toISOString(), i, node.closest('label').querySelector('span').textContent);
node.click();
await sleep(3_000);
}
}
purge().catch(console.error);
