The radio turned out great!! Thanks for posting all of the photos as you progressed.
The asbestos under the chassis of my model 59C broke into about 5 pieces when I tried to remove it from the cabinet. I've since disposed of it. I will try the set, once completed, in the cabinet sans asbestos and see if it is needed, either as a height spacer or for some sort of sound or vibration cushion for the speaker. I'm thinking it will work just fine without it. I agree.. nasty stuff and I'd rather not have it around. The aforementioned RCA I was working on that also had "A" under the chassis was a 1942 model.
