## Discrepancy

DURING CRUISE JUST PRIOR TO DESCENT, THE CREW NOTICED THE CENTER VHF COMM WENT BLANK & WAS FOLLOWED BY A STRONG ELEC ODOR & SMOKE.  COMPLETED NORMAL APPROACH & LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  SMOKE & FUMES IN COCKPIT INSPECTION WAS ACCOMPLISHED.  AFTER TROUBLESHOOTING, DETERMINED THE VHF COMM FAILED INTERNALLY.  IT WAS DISCONNECTED & 2 DMI'S WERE GENERATED.  DMI 999-15-0039 FOR VHF & DMI 999-165-0040 FOR ACARS REACTIVATION.  CURRENTLY AWAITING PARTS.
