[Jukebox-list] 1650 crazy smell?

[etreble7]

Thanks to all who responded, at least I am not loosing my mind.  I think I 
will remove them and soak in Simple Green overnight and see what happens.  I 
was also told to soak them in Dishwasher Soap (it contains bleach) I think I 
will try the Simple Green first as it's not as strong a cleaner.
