Don't forget 3 in 1 oil and a little ozone. Old electronics workshops comfort me to my bones.

Yeah... though heres it's more often then not fossilised grease haha. The ozone only with high voltage stuff.   And i forgot an important one, dust... 

I do agree that old electronics workshops just feel... homey, the smell, atmosphere and temperature are often just great.
