Atwater-Kent 72
#5

You know, I have never had an AK with a bad power transformer, and I have at least 25 of them restored and working, models 20 through 447.

I think that it simply depends on whether a former owner turned it on to see if it worked, saw the nice lights and noticed the smoke too late.
This would apply to all brands of radios that old.
