Caution! Some radios use sheets of friable
asbestos under or above the chassis. Breathing asbestos
fibers can cause various lung diseases such as asbestosis and lung
cancer. Never
use compressed air near asbestos. Compressed air will cause the
asbestos to become airborne. If your radio contains asbestos, consult
OSHA guidelines for safe removal.

abatement in general from the Mesothelioma Center here.
