cigarette smoke on used equipment

[zaphod]

hi,

i just bought a pair of isolation transformers that smell to high heaven of cigarette smoke. any clues on how to get the smell off them?

they don't have "innerds"

so i don't quite know what to do...

wipe them off with a damp cloth. that should do it.

tried that last night, i suspect i'm going to have to dissassemble them. or maybe blow compressed air into them.

or wrap them in garlic

Open box of baking soda?

Aromatic cedar chips?

Don't think you want to use sulfur like the ancient Greeks - could do some damage.

Yet another reason why audiophiles should not smoke!

Put each one in a bag with sometype of zip lock or something to close it tightly with a fabric softner sheet, i.e. Bounce, Cling-Free, and let it sit there for a few hours.

This should help and they won't have any static cling either. LOL

Just don't put it in the dryer!
