Zenith H725 Asbestos Pad
#1

Finally got this radio up and going after giving up on it three years back, though still ironing out some crankiness. (Thought it had lost FM totally 3 years back and blamed the coils and IFs. Reason: Forgot to hook the antenna wire back up! Icon_crazy  ) Anyways, I had the radio back apart today to clean the fussy band switch for the third time and realized this radio has an asbestos pad glued in the cabinet over the output tube side of the chassis! Ack! It's decent, but what would be best to use to seal this over? Can't pull it out and don't want to disturb it. I have only done that on wooden radios where it has been stapled in and already mangled.

No matter where you go, there you are.
