[Jukebox-list] 1650 crazy smell?

[Sue and Dennis Lavin]

HI Jackie, I have seen or I should say smelled this with some old vintage 
radio plastic parts, dial bezels, knobs buttons etc..depending on what they 
are made of the amonia might be attacing the plastic ?

The old sets I saw this happen to were from the 40's, and some of the 
material starts to disenirgrate with age and contact with cleaners.. Hope 
yours is not the case ! My wurlitzer 1250 had some nasty dirty buttons, I 
cleaned them up with simple green. No problems with that so far and it was a 
few years back. Mabe you should re-wash them with somthing else to try to 
neutralize the amonia ?  Just a guess but it cant hurt !!

Others here might have more information for you too.

BTY  hows that Telephunken radio set going ??
