Today in an inner-city collectables store, I saw an old Kreisler model 11-7
bakelite radio, just like my grandmother had. Price tag was $295.
I don't know if it were working.

Valve radios had a characteristic smell when turned on. I can still remember it thirty years later.

I suppose, but it was clearly a slow process.

Maybe the valve heater circuit caused the burning smell?
Or was it ozone?

Slowly cooking house dust on the valves.
Now that sounds more plausible - if a bit disgusting, given that most
house dust is human skin.

The NTC thermistor for the herater circuit would get hot enough
to burn paint. any dust that settles on it would be converted
to smoke. any volatile chemicals would be altered too. "Hot" has a smell.
As a kid in the 60's with an interest in radio etc. I strung up all
sorts of dangerous arrangements in my room. I remember having Philco
radios with electromagnetic loudspeakers that used the speaker as a HT
filter, I put one of the speakers on top of my wardrobe with god knows
what kind of cable connecting it back to the radio. Must have been a
4-core cable but probably wouldn't have been rated at HT levels.
A 4 core cable intended for 415V three phase motors would surely be
sufficient. something with automotive applications, not so much.
