I agree with the others. Over time, the smell will go away. Sitting it outside where the air can get at it is also another good idea.

I used to get TV sets that looked like they had been through a house fire. The owners were smokers, obviously. After I repaired them, they stank up my shop until the owner came back. I remember helping a guy get his smoky TV in his car. His windows were brown, too. I cant imagine that much smoking. My dad smoked for 60 years, and his cars NEVER looked like that.

I just aquired a Philco 41-XXXX console. It smells like Lucky Strikes. Thats what the previous owner told me his mom smoked. It has bad caps. It will run again.
