stinky cabinet
#7

I'm starting to restore a Philco 47-1227 and ran into the same issue with smoke. On the outside I used Goop (GoJo can be used as well). Rub it on, let it work for a minute then wipe it off with a terrycloth or cotton rag. The nicotine film will absolutely destroy the cloth so have a a bunch handy. I used a toothbrush to get into corners, etc. After you are done the first time do a few more until the wiping cloth is stain free. I've already done the outside of mine twice and I can still see some tint on the wiping cloth. I guess that's what 65+ years of smoking will do. After the outside is done I'll tackle the inside. That should be fun!
