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.

When we took in gear like this in my stores, we used an open container, (like an empty margarine tub) or ziplock bag full of coffee grounds or rice. That seemed to absorb most of the odor.

I think Elizabeth has several options that she has tried over the years. Maybe she will chime in...
