I always thought smoke damage was limited to carpeting and upholstered items...not so.
I never really took to heed the words "used in a non-smoking environment" whenever I surfed for goods on eBay...specifically, music gear.
Some time ago, I received a piece of rack equipment I won from eBay. Internal circuitry was simple, and the unit was primarily aluminum with the exception of some plastic switches...but the whole thing reeked of cigarette smoke!
Never thought the smoke would affect metal. I dismantled the whole unit and sprayed all sorts of fragrances (including Febreeze) to mask the smell. I let it air out for a few days before I installed it.
To this day, you can STILL smell a slight tinge of smoke. So I basically own a rack-mounted ashtray...
