Pot metal breakdown--that explains why there's no collateral damage as well. I just bought the radio and the seller indicated he bought it that way but never got around to restoring it. The radio looks pretty much untouched except that there's a brown wire from the volume pot that's been cut and taped. The other thing I found out (ouch!) is that the chassis is hot, so there's something terribly wrong somewhere.
