Quoted from EM-PINMAN:Really Don't remember that. Everywhere I guess my old timers disease is kicking in.

My 72 Buick has a similar smell as my Space Mission.
Quoted from Topcard:There are two pinball smells....the good one that just makes you feel sixteen again. Such a great aroma it's almost indescribable.
Then there's the bad one....the mustiness that comes from years in a damp basement combined with mouse urine and God knows what else. I've had to get rid of machines I liked because I could never fully lose that bad smell. I'd love to know if anyone ever had success using an ionizer.
I used an ozone machine on my first pin, a 74 Williams Super Flite. It smelled like it had been used as an ashtray its entire life. After cleaning it as best I could I blasted it directly through the coin door for 24 straight hours. Cigarette smell obliterated.
