I have noticed some RCA's have a sweet smell; a Zenith might be described as more sour? In some cases I think we are smelling scents from the homes the sets were in: perfume, deodorizer, tobacco, mold, etc. But some is that original smell. I like to stick my nose up to the back cover vents sometimes and just take in a whiff-pretty weird, huh? But it is all part of the experience of owning one of these old monsters. The best way to get a concentrated "new old electronics smell" is with certain pieces of test equipment or portable radios which have a tightly closed case. Open it up and the odor can be overwhelming.
