Old Tube Smell
I have a restored RCA 8" portable TV that has a rich vintage smell to it. It is the all metal 8" "personal portable". It is in pristine cosmetic condition and works like new. These are a chalenge to work on as they are so compact. After it has been on for a while, the room fills with that old TV smell. I had always thought that the smell came from dust or dirt but this set is immaculate inside. Does anyone know what causes it? I thought the odor meant something was wrong but all my tube radios and TVs get it even after being meticulously cleaned and properly restored. Transistor TVs definitely don't have it. Its a tyoob thing.
