    Years ago i worked for a fire restoration company.
    Smoke damage can be nasty. The odor can be
    difficult to remove. It can be done though.
    It depends on the amount of smoke damage, are the machines
    covered in black soot?
    In general,
    Before using any liquid cleaners i would
    vacuum everything with a brush attachment.
    I would focus on any porous surface the most like
    the inside of cabinet. Using liquid cleaner will set the
    soot in the porous wood forever, so vacuum first.
    If the inside parts are covered in black soot each will
    need to be cleaned individually.
    Basically this will be the shop job from hell.
    They make sealers that seal the odor in a wood surface.
    Obviously you would have to empty the cabinet completely.
    We also would set items in a makeshift tent and run a ozone
    machine to neutralize the odor at the molecular level.
    Good luck.
