The title pretty much sums it up. I have a CPS2 A board that I bought from a shop about a year ago that smells like a straight old school game center/cigarettes/the inside of oyaji's kei-truck cab. It's quite noticeable when the board is running via supergun, to the point where I don't even use it as to not annoy my wife. I live in a 1LDK Japanese apartment, so the smell stays lingering in the main room for a little while.
The board has been thoroughly cleaned, once by the two guys at the shop right in front of me, and once again by me. The plastic has been washed multiple times. I wasn't sure if it was coming from the electronics, or if it was from years of cigarette smoke sticking to the insides and then the fan blowing it out. The fan has been replaced.
Anyway, my brother recommended changing out the caps on the board. Anything else I should look into?
(Will try to get it out of its box in the next couple of days and open it up for pictures. I thought I had some, but I guess not. There is nothing glaringly wrong with the board, and it's worked fine aside from having to do a switch reset to get sound one time.)
