Sure looks like a lightning surge came down the power line.

Be prepared for multiple failures. The power transformer may still be good, but this is a good way to croak it.

Don't have one around to snap pics.

This radio has a two-prong power cord. The side of the line cord connected to the fuse was apparently not connected to the 'hot' side of the outlet when the surge arrived.
