Well moth balls and very old good wool blankets from previous generations too. My old house still smells like smoke even though there are no smokers here anymore , and I gave it up more than 4 years ago. Probably a complete paint job with primer and rug removal would do it.

Tube sets do not stink all that much when recapped and cleaned up except for mold growth in the cabinet, or kitchen grease on the backs baking in the tube glow. Enjoy all!
