  With regard to the asbestos sheet and it's removal, in some radios you may have to come up with some shims or some sort of substitute for the thickness of the asbestos sheet as items like pushbuttons will scrap along the bottom edge of the escutcheon that surrounds them. I removed a torn up sheet asbestos from under a Canadian G.E H-86 chassis and didn't even think of this until I replaced the pushbuttons and noticed that they scraped the bottom edge of each square hole in the bronze dial escutcheon whereas they didn't before I removed the asbestos.
I haven't noted whether the pushbutton assembly in this set is suspended on rubber mounts or no but I will still see about replacing the asbestos either with a steel sheet or a chunk of exhaust gasket material, in AC sets the paper caps are not the only things that can melt and burn there is also the power transformer with tar and varnish inside it.
Regards
Arran
