Norman Ryan previously suggested that the original choke shorted to 
ground (chassis), due either to vibration or the insulation on the 
winding wearing off (or both).  Leaving aside purely fantastical and 
magical explanations, that is the only way I can see that the damage you 
observed can be caused to a working radio.  Accordingly, I concur with 
Norman's diagnosis.

Best regards,
