I took the cardboard backing off of my Philco 46-1209 console. The backing does not cover up the radio chassis, but curves in to the chassis base. It has two large pads on the inside part. I checked where the padding is placed, and one pad covers the area of the phonograph, and the lower pad covers the back of the speaker. Maybe this padding is just for sound deadening? Since I'm working with old radios now, do they contain any asbestos materials? Thanks, Marc
