Please don't get rid of your case...or at least offer it for sale to someone who needs one. Dave McCallum covers the smelly case issue & how to remedy it in "Those Fantastic Featherweights DVD"...it is hide glue. Rather than mask the odor, he explains how to kill the offender with heat.
For those who feel they just want a new case, they are out there for sale...that fit the FW perfectly.
