Yes, I know.
The speaker gasket material I have looks similar to what is on top of the IF board in my 700-T. Yes, I would say it is very much like dense foam weatherstripping. Its intended purpose is to seal speakers in enclosures. I do not know how it would react when hot...and I do not know if the transformer gets hot...somehow I doubt it based on its sheer size and the fact that this receiver will never be cranked to full blast while I own it.
OK, settled. Speaker gasket it is.
Off-on-volume transplant tomorrow. I might try my CL-80 in this set just for fun, to see how it acts.
This receiver has come a long way from the piece of...garbage that it was when it first arrived here. Now it is a great sounding FM stereo radio.  The 700-T was top of the line for Fisher in 1967. Hopefully it will soon be completely finished.
