Correction: I now recall seeing a sheet of asbestos inside a 1935 Philco 16RX chairside - in the cabinet that housed the radio chassis. I do not recall seeing the stuff in any other larger AC-only Philco.

Nasty stuff. I don't like having it around.

The inside of the 39 cabinet is now sealed with shellac. After awhile, I will glue and clamp the cabinet. Tomorrow, the chassis can go back in as it is finished.
