Is it damp musty or somewhat more rancid? If it is rancid, then it could an electolytic going.

I purchased an R-4C some months ago and it operates as expected. The addition of a 250-Hz CW filter makes operating that mode much more enjoyable. The only real problem I have with the receiver is a musty odor that's emitted by the unit after being on for a while. I suspect it was in storage for a period of time in a damp environment. The chassis does not show any pitting or signs of deterioration due to humidity which one might expect with the presence of the odor. Has any one else come across this kind of problem and found a solution for same?
