Damn, blew out my garage receiver...

Have a grunt system in the garage... Consists of some old Marantz speakers w/ Rockford Fosgate 8" car subs, driven by a Marantz SR225 receiver. I essentially paid nothing for the whole system.
Yesterday, I went out to do some work, hit the power on the receiver, and all I get out of the right is a HUGE hummmmmmmmm, and you can see that the woofer is pretty much pulled in to it's limits. Played around with it for a bit... only the right channel is effected, but it does it any time there's a speaker hooked up to it, even if I go mono, balance all the way to the left, and so on. I think I just blew one of the outputs. Not sure how, as it worked fine last time I used it... then again, a thunderstorm did recently go through (although it caused no other electronic damage).
Anyway... I need a replacement 2ch receiver. Very low-end, all it has to do is pick up radio, preferably with hookups for an external FM antenna. Anyone know where to look? I'd be willing to buy new, but I'm looking for no more than like $50, which is gonna be kinda tricky. I thought about one of those Class T amps, but they don't have a tuner....
Thanks,
Nadams
