Sounds like they had some sort of Recoton wireless speaker, which obviously is self powered (hence only plugging into the wall). If this is the case, and their is a broadcast, hookup point, you may be home free.

You have my sympathy. I remember helping my parents select a decent sound system in the late 70's. After my mom, passed away, my Dad (who was hard of hearing) announced that he had replaced that "hard to use system", with a nice simple boombox, that he could carry from room to room. So much for sound quality.
