How to remove cigarette smell from a CD walkman?

[LDB_Career]

Just acquired a used CD walkman, and it smells like cigarette smoke inside and out. How do I remove this smell?

I know about removing the smell from books (zip lock bag with carpet deodorizer or baking soda), etc. and I know one of the best solutions is to put it in the freezer.

However, I don't want to ruin the device since it's electronic - I'm afraid putting in the freezer isn't a good idea, and sprinkling it with powder is even worse.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I think you should get an mp3 player. I know that's not what you've asked for, but they are so much better and they aren't very expensive anymore. . .

but if you still want to keep the CD player, I think the freezer thing would be fine.

clorox wipes wouldn't be a bad idear or sparay it with lysol not directly though you can also clean it with vinegar that will take the smell away.

You could wipe it down with rubbing alcohol
