2 years ago, I bought a '92 SC300 off a friend for $4k with everything
electrical (sunroof, mirrors, seats, stereo) working perfectly.
Unfortunately, I had a '03 LR Discovery that I was still paying off so
I lent it to my dad to drive around. I dumped the Discovery (it was
crap on gas) and took back the SC300. My dad is technologically
illiterate and he didn't touch the tape or the CD changer, but yet it
doesn't work anymore. I was wondering if it was something as simple as
fuses or shorted wires or if I should throw just throw the whole thing
out and spend a couple hundred for a replacement?

The reason the tape and CD changer do not work could be something as simple
as fuses or shorted wires or it could be something more. I would start by
checking the fuses and checking for power at the CD changer and tape player.

You also might want to consider repairing it . I had good
luck with this company: http://carstereohelp.com/lexus.htm
