## Discrepancy

(CAN) ACFT WAS PARKED ON GATE.  WHILE THE CREW WAS BEGINNING ITS PREFLIGHT CHECKS THE CAPTAIN NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE PEDESTAL BETWEEN THE 2 PILOTS IN THE AREA NEAR THE RADIO CONTROL PANELS AND A DEFINITE ELECTRIC BURNING ODOR.  THE SMOKE WAS ENOUGH THAT THE CAPTAIN FELT THAT THE PLANE SHOULD BE DEPLANED, AS A PRECAUTION, AT THE TIME BOARDING HAD JUST STARTED AND THERE WERE APPROXIMATELY 15 PAX ON BOARD. ONCE OFF THE ACFT THE CREW CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WHO INSPECTED THE FLIGHT DECK AND AVIONICS BAY FOR FIRE.  THERE WAS NO FIRE AND MTCE IS INSPECTING THE EFFECTED PARTS AND A REPAIR IS EXPECTED WITHIN A COUPLE OF HOURS.  R & R NR 1 RMP IAW AMM 23-13-13-PL401.
