The padding the OP is referring to is black in color, has the texture of flattened out fiberglass insulation, and is located behind the record changer and speaker, not behind - or under - the radio chassis.

I have no idea if it has any asbestos content or not. I still lean against it, but I'm no scientist, nor do I play one on TV .

Yes indeed...in my opinion, a lot of governmental regulations are out of control, but to say more would be violating my own anti-political rules on this Phorum. Icon_wink

Oops, guess I'd better swat myself over the hand with a ruler for that one. No, wait, to do so would be abuuuusive...
