As I was playing my newly acquired 1974 Gottlieb Big Indian this morning, I caught a pleasant whiff of "musty old pinball". It's almost the exact opposite smell of when I lift the playfield on my Mando LE and the "NIB wood" aroma wafts out.
I wonder what Mando will smell like in 50 years? 
What smells better?
1. Old musty EM smell
2. New in box wood smell?
Quoted from wisefwumyogwave:My paragon I restored recently lost the smell I LOVE - it sounds weird but I always loved that old bar smell. I've never even tried a cig but that slight aging cig smell from it the cabinet has since perished and I miss it.
40-50 year old cigarette smell is not a bad smell nowadays. It's a noticeable and memorable smell for sure. Especially, for those of use who were playing these games when they were slowly soaking in that smell.
