It has reminded me of a similar fault on an FM tuner, where a resistor lead had been cropped too short before soldering, and it had broken away from the solder. From above, it looked fine. From below, it looked OK - not "dry" - but the lack of excess wire poking out of the solder joint was a strong clue
Yes, I think worth noting, the joint is obviously weak by virtue it is just a simple butt joint, and the screws securing the PCB had become slightly loose, as well as the screw securing the plastic cover.
