Smoke contaminated component

Hi. I just purchased a vintage Marantz 2100 FM tuner (via eBay) and did not think to ask if the previous home/studio was smoke free. I have removed the top and I am letting it breath. Has anyone had success in removing the odors from within the cabinet? The metal cover also smells and I plan to wipe it down with hydrogen peroxide solution. Now I know "buyer beware". Thanks in advance. J.

Baking soda? (Like for a refrigerator - assuming you can keep it from dusting).

Hydrogen peroxide can melt/deform plastic part, beware...
I'd use windex.

If you have any connections with hotel or motel owners, one of their ozone-generating devices did the job for me. These machines are routinely used to remove tobacco odors from contaminated rooms.

You might want to consider calling one of those companies that restore a house after a fire. They could probably make some good recommendations.

You can use either the Febreze or Ozium products. Both are available at FleaBay, Walmart, and Target...
