If you test power up sets with original caps you will see a cap fail like that eventually.

It must of happened a fairly long time ago as the wax on the cap is hardened and discolored like its been sitting a while (well and that and considering that the original power cord was cut off who knows how long ago) it seems that this radio has probably not seen a power up in at least 20 years I would guestimate.
