That Other Audiophile Website

This is very strange to hear. I have bought used audio gear over the years, so many different pieces. Not one has had the smell of cigarette smoke or anything else. Have I just been lucky?

I guess I’ll know to ask from now on. I must say, however, that some of the funniest posts I’ve seen in a long time are on this thread, so thank you OP for that.

Oh my goodness @tubebuffer! LOL! Once I catch my breath, then @carpathian says….
“Once again, tubebuffer’s superior insight has hid the mail on the bed” 

Great stuff! 

(....note to self:  Sell not without disclaimer that said item '....may exhibit and/or exude exotic odors when brought to operational temperatures...' )

"...hid the mail on the bed."

*hmmm*

(...no....won't go there, or anywhere nearby, no....) ;)

Tominnj, google ozone generator. You can get them fairly  cheap these days. Running the ozone generator in a closed room with the cigarette odorous device will remove the smoke smell in a few hours. Seems a small investment in one of these devices will save you a lot of problems if you continue to purchase used electronic goods.

good luck
