Nova Montgomery teaches a class on FWs. Go to her website. She has a Tip of the Month that is excellent. I took her class and found out what was making the smell. It is easily "fixable," but I don't want to give away any of her expertise. She has been repairing FWs for a good number of years.
Congrats, Julia on your FW purchase. Makes a lovely stitch!
