I'm not an expert but, does this sound plausible and if so what might be the cause? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Drum eating into front panel. Not pretty. Some folks just put up with it till the dang thang quits. Shame. If it is that far gone you gonna need a new front panel.

Bra wires are famous for this though usually they just make a racket. More likely to be the front glides as JW said.
