Getting rid of that Smoke Smell

No.2769005 ViewReplyReportDelete
Any advice for getting cigarette smoke smell out of classic game stuff?

The only time I ever got it out of an electronic device in the past was by thoroughly submerging an old laptop in a bathtub and washing it with dish soap. That worked for the most part, but of course the clock battery died in the process and the screen was rather screwed up by the water that collected inside of it (which eventually evaporated but left white spots in the screen, dunno if that was some kind of buildup or damage to the screen or whatever else). My point is, I could have done it better, but it did get the smell out.

I now have an Atari Lynx that has the smell in it. I've washed the exterior with soap and water using a rag (not doing the full submerge again), but the smell is still present. I suspect that to truly get it I'll need to open the console up, fully wash the plastic case parts, and gently wash the electronics with a soapy toothbrush or something. Is this a sound option, or should I consider other methods? Thanks fellow troopers.

Hey /vr/ troopers. It's the weekend, no work tomorrow and most of us just got paid. What does Friday have in store?

Pic related, just met up with some friends for pinball and beer, heading home for takeaway dinner and possible Doom or MegaDrive play afterwards

I downloaded VisualBoyAdvance to have fun with some Zelda and Mystic Quest - but now I see that there is a *-M file as well as a *-M-SDL.

Which one do I use and what is the difference? Does it even matter?

So the original Bard's tale games is 3 bucks on steam sale. Is it worth it? Talking about the retro 80s ones of course. Can we talk about this game?

We're going to buy two GBA SPs with my friend and I wondered which version from Pokemon series should we choose for pokemon trading via link cable in the first place? Ruby & Sapphire? Emerald? FireRed & LeafGreen?

Also I'm looking for other games with cooperative elements on GBA.
