stinky cabinet
#1

Brought home a Philco 40-180 console, and the guy that I bought it from lived in a trailer.
He was a heavy smoker, so the radio really stinks of cigs.
It has a really nice original finish, so I really just need to clean it good to remove the smell.
Removed the speaker cloth and threw that away.
How about something like murphy oil soap?
I am always leary about using water on these old cabinets.Some of the older ones lose the veneer when they get wet.
I will have to scrub the inside down as well.
Suggestions?
