Andy,
The smell might be the tubes? Transformers should not smell unless they have been breached especially on the ming da. Break in smell should only be for a couple of hours at the most. I have had several tube amps only one which had a HOT smell and it was from the initial break in on the tubes. You might consider opening the bottom and looking for a burned capacitor?
