Alright, about a year or two ago, I bought a cheapo GE portable radio and cassette player, it has been a little side project of mine that I occasionally tinker with when I'm not working on other things, and I recently had a bit of a scare.

Underneath and above the coil antenna is a pad, which my guess is used to secure the antenna in place, but it is beginning to crumble, and just last night, a small chunk crumbled into my fingers and onto the desk, and I immediately remembered that GE used asbestos in the 60s and early 70s.

I DON'T THINK IT IS ASBESTOS because the coil antenna does not produce heat, which (from my research) is the main purpose that GE used asbestos for; HOWEVER, I am trying to figure out if it is in fact asbestos, as a safety precaution. If anyone here has any info or knowledge about it, please let me know.

And before you ask, no, I don't know the specific date or year that this model was produced, but I have inferred that it is late 60s or 70s due to the styling of it.
