The asbestos is underneath the case above the output & rectifier valves. Even with this the case can be affected and mine has a small piece of veneer missing on the back edge.
I sprayed the asbestos in mine with some silver exhaust pipe paint that I happened to have to glue down the asbestos fibres. A clear heat-proof paint if it exists would be better.

I would be curious to know if anyone knows what the key looks like that is used to switch the larger external speaker which was available as an accessory.
