Smelled like in the inside?

It means I can remember what the inside of a transistor radio smelled like. It had a certain smell that got printed on me somehow.

How scent, emotion, and memory are intertwined — and exploited

Exactly. A radio didn't last long after I got my hands on one.

I guess i don't.
Never heard of anything like that before, in my lifetime on top of this planet Earth.

Especially one with a burnt capacitor, resistor or diode.

Look again see wire soldered to buss bar and hot fuse in bottom of can ??

Yes, they actually jumped off the buss and put a fuse holder in the bottom of the tub. Panel was installed we are guessing in the mid 60's. Still have Frank Adams buss (1st generation of busway) feeding this.
