I picked up a complete (including table), well used and very smelly Featherweight Centennial for $99 at a local charity shop in 2009. I read everything I could and the best info came from the car guys. A friend told me recently that the odor in the case is from an animal based glue used on the cases made in the US. Here is what I have done...housed it in our loft space, open case during the coldest time of winter. Bake it in the heat on the hottest driest days. After that treatment and being closed up during our humid season the mold spores reappeared. In frustration I took a bleach wipe to it and have had no problems since.
