The only 505 I can find on US eBay (for parts with a broken screen) will cost about $40 (with shipping). Honestly, it's not even worth looking for a borken 505 to use to try to fix the one you have.
Check out Shop Goodwill. Sony PRS-505's are a "dime a dozen" there. They're nice, classic readers. I can see why someone would want to restore one.
