I would dd vacuuming to the cleaning process to pick up any mold spores lying around.
I find smells to be almost impossible to get rid of. so congrats on your first success and I am curious to hear if you find more.

"PS. I think that the bellows do not have light leaks. I just made my first photograph (on Fuji FP-100C) with the camera and it became out just fine."
Do the flashlight test. A few exposures tell you nothing. Under different lighting conditions, different extension or camera movements, pinholes could have a disastrous effect.
The suggestion to contact Kumar is a good one. A used and unwrinkled bellows might be a good long-term investment.
Also, from looking at the parts list and exploded drawings of the Toyo Field I have (maybe from Kumar or on this forum someplace, don't remember) and my own Toyo the bellows is removable via a series of screws. The back has 8 screws accessible from the back and the front has 4 screws on the front standard hidden under pieces of body cover. Looks to be fairly easy.
I actually ended sending the camera back.
But I tried ozone later on with various other items. Sometimes it helped and sometimes it did not.
I used a large plastic box to run the device with the timer. I only used it outside inside the fenced garden far away from the houses.
My experience is that if there is moldy smell on soft items then it is close to impossible to get rid of it.
