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,
TerryMSU

Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!

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.
