Broken Tannoy husband fixed for man (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

anthony

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fixed for man' is the definition.
'Anthony' can be an answer for 'man'. I'm not sure about the 'fixed for' bit.

'broken tannoy husband' is the wordplay.
'broken' is an anagram indicator.
'husband' becomes 'h' (abbreviation).
'tannoy'+'h'='tannoyh'
'tannoyh' with letters rearranged gives 'ANTHONY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for anthony that I've seen before include "Best Actor Oscar winner 1991, for 'The Silence of The Lambs'" , "- van Dyck, seventeenth century Flemish painter" , "Man's name" , "Fellow" .)
