The what?

I went ahead and took the pic now. The yellow circles show the bolts that hold in the radio dial face and button assembly.

There are supposed to be rubber mounts on both sides that seem to isolate the bolt and the upper assembly from the lower portion of the chassis. Maybe for an electrical reason. I did notice a piece of rotten rubber, about the size of those, fall out yesterday. I can't remember if that was before or after it blew the tube. I'm going to check at a hardware store for some kind of rubber washers to stick in there on both sides to restore that also before it gets plugged in again.

The green circle shows the bandage tape I mentioned. Icon_lol
