Same here. Although for different reasons.

1971, I got my first electronics job at a dive called LA Electronics. 
The owner
tells me, "I have a customer coming over this afternoon that's 
threatening to kill
me if I don't get his radio back together. Could you take a look at it 
for me?"

What he didn't tell me, it was an old Super Pro with the front panel removed
and all the hardware (and gears etc.) poured into a coffee can.

To say the least, they can be a challenge to reassemble when you saw how it
came apart. To be handed a can full of hardware....well, it's MORE of a
challenge.

I did get it all back together though, in time for the store owner to 
avert any
physical damage to himself.
