Looks to be what's left of the rubber mount for the cap.
You've tons of room in that chassis. Also looks like it's
a Canadian built model w/a 25cy power transformer.
Any idea where to get those tuning cap mounts or even a picture of a new one? I know the corner mounts are available.
Thanks,

Renovated Radios sells the proper mounts. They are the same as used on the 38-4, and the very rare 38-250EZ. At work so no time to look up the part number for you, sorry. Go to Ed's website and you can find them.
