JROZ..Are you serious? There is 40 to 50 years of smells that go into that tube radio. That radio has earned THE TIME TO SMELL..LOL.. That burning smell of the dust warming on those tubes is mmmmmmmm great. Also the radio cabinet letting off the musty smell of the homes they were in since new is from a begone era you can not replace.....Enjoy them as they were ment to be, since you resqued them from the scap yard..
