Getting rid of smokey smells
Just bought myself a new deck. A B&O TX2. Not quite as vintage as my braun (Which i managed to add a line in to using a 1:1 transformer, potential divider and on-on switch setup. Thanks for all the help with that in the past). The beo looks very sleak and sounds even better. Only problem is it came from a smoking household so it wiffs a little when i lift the lid. Anyone got any tips for removing the smell? There's brushed aluminium, plastic and rubber to contend with.

Re: Getting rid of smokey smells
It will gradually get better with time. Giving it a good clean with foaming cleaner will help (I use Aldi PowerForce bathroom cleaner - don't use caustic kitchen cleaner.)

Re: Getting rid of smokey smells
I agree that a good clean is the starting point, and then just leave it in a ventilated place for a long time.
The fact that it smells tells you that it is venting the odour chemicals. Quote:
