I've had good luck using Pursue to kill odors. Pursue is sold by
Amway and it comes in a spray can. In general, it works better than
anything else that I've tried. I haven't tried it on a computer so be
carefull. It may attack plastic. You may want to put some on a rag or
something and then close it and the puter up in a large box for a day or
two to give it time to penetrate. A small fan in the box would probably
help. Let us know how it works.

stink like one EXCEPT that Mac II has collected so much regular dust
in it's life then pushed to storage is bad location where there's
humidty is high for long time. That's before I rescued that Mac II
from goodwill for $5.
Now it stank of must and dust. What is your process to destink that
Mac II? Scubbing is part solution but this case is full of
cravities and crannies, lot of hidden carvities under that tin sheet
fastened in place by melted mushroomed plastic pins. Best way I
think is soak it in some kind of chemical. including that PSU minus
fan.
The worst of that stink is in PSU and whole case. I'll have to take
apart that PSU but the case is another matter.
Hey, it's 1987 machine so classiccomp applies! :-)
What's the solutions to attack this? Bleach dip, ionized chamber
(for smoke damage repair) etc? Comments please and where to
find some de-stink services locally?
