If the inside of thebabinet smells bad too put baking soda in an open container or two and place inside the cabinet. This will eventually remove the smell on the inside.

I recently purchased a nice oak Herzog cabinet like the one on the ront of the Gadgets and Gizzmos book with the paper mache horn inside. It s in excellent condition with the exception that it has a strong odor of moke. Has anyone had any luck getting the smell out from an old phonograph r cabinet? This cabinet came from the original owners grand-daughter who s in her late 70s. Both her and her husband are heavy smokers. Also, does nyone have any sales literature on these cabinets? I would like to try to et any information on them. I am also currently using this one for a attern to make the paper mache horn for my other two cabinets like this one hat are missing the horn. So far the project is working out pretty good.
