[NJARC] ASBESTOS in old radios -- any suggestions?

[Rich's Radios]

John,

  This topic comes up fairly often on the RAR+P newsgroup - see this recent link;

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.antiques.radio+phono/browse_frm/thread/ac683195c226d8e6/b3895dacceaf867f?lnk=st&q=asbestos+%2B+emerson&rnum=1#b3895dacceaf867f

  In between the barbs there appears to be some good advice...
