Hi and welcome.

I'm glad somebody likes that vintage of sets because the poor things need saving too! I like your avatar, haven't seen that screen in many years I guess you're fond of this era.

Anyway, I did some sleuthing by browsing the Beitman's handbooks and it seems you may be the owner of an RT202 tuner and a G1708S amplifier (pgs 109 and 121 in the 1959 book). There's also a RT150 but I need to write all the tube numbers down and match it up...too difficult switch back and forth on the monitor.

In the meantime do give a look at this page http://antiqueradio.org/welcome.htm

and head towards the Beginner's section and make particular note of the capacitor replacement article.

I can send you emails of these schematics if they in fact do match up tube wise. You can dig deeper to see if they correspond in detail.

And yeah, thats probably asbestos panels. They aren't contagious - just leave them be.
