[Hallicrafters] Of Mice and Hallicrafters

I received a dusty old SX-62 Run 2 today. After removing the front 
panel, and pulling
the chassis out to take a look underneath, I found the following:

Either this is some sort of Hallicrafters insulation for the crystal 
marker (unlikely),
or a mouse had made his home under-chassis for a while. I wonder how the
set performed if it was operated with the mouse in residence? Perhaps a bit
squeekily?
