I think the large amount of heat produced inside the tube type sets liberates a lot more odors from things inside compared to modern sets. I have a RCA CTC-39 that has a smell that seems unique to that chassis, I think it is in the flyback or power transformer.
Too often old TV's/radios seem to have a nicotine and cigarette tar smell...I always associated that smell with old equipment I would find as no one ever smoked at home.
