It is usually the other way around.
An output transistors blows open to save a fuse. Then it takes the speaker.
Not a funny joke.🙁
I am fascinated by this kind of photos. I saw a championship of the most messy electronic workshops on a canadian forum. Note that those of some of the most creative engineers could be among the winners.
All electronic components are composed of concentrated smoke which is released at the appropriate voltage.
Bob Pease was noted for a messy desk, as was Jim Williams. Both worked for National Semi at one time.
Happens almost every day!Mostly due to lack of time, I'd never get anything done!
Looking for more radio images, I found this radio joke:
Today I saw an ad which said "Radio for sale, £1, volume stuck on full."
I thought, "I can't turn that down."

Hah! Long ago I discovered that I could never trust anyone, even myself, to do a proper job. So I added a few extra routine test stages to ensure working products after I've fixed "stuff". Some times there's the odd easily missed mistake in final assembly, much better to do an extra test run than to have an angry customer.
But that's not what I meant, it takes so much time to explain stuff to someone that has no clue about "laymans terminology".
Even the most basic thing must be explained in length.
