It is all in the design. Most wood cabinet radios have a metal chassis inside which would trap flames. It was not unusual to have a piece of Asbestos Paper under the chassis (try doing that these days!)

Fuses and fusible links can take the risk way down. Consumer units with power transformers often have the fusible link inside the transformer - over draw current and the transformer pops open from a link buried somewhere in the primary winding.
