Fire sets?

In the mid '90's, a lady gave me an '80's GE 25" color console that came out of her house after it burned. The cabinet received extreme water and smoke damage and the chassis had smoke damage. I powered it up just to see what would happen and it came on with a good picture. The cabinet was so bad that there was no fixing it and it would have been hard to sell a TV with a cabinet in that bad of condition; so, I used the chassis out of it in a similar TV that lightning had blown up.

Out of the same house came an early '80's RCA 12" B&W. I cleaned it up as best I could and sold it for $10. I never could get the fire smell out of that TV.
