Pretty much all tube equipment I've found has a similar smell to it, although I wasn't around to know what it was like when it was new. Can't really place what it is, prolly wood and warm capacitors, but it's the same between radios and TVs and everything, with only a little variation due to age, brand, etc. (And I'm not talking about the, um, herbal smell of my '60s equipment either, though that's pretty nice too...
) Big change from the new plastic stuff of today, tho, which smells ozoney at best and 'like burning' many times.
So if we have "new car smell" in a spray can, why *can't* we have "old tv smell?" Somebody call Glade, tell 'em to make a plug-in.
