Just a quick update; I put a few pics of the 8/L's front panel post
cleanup (amongst other things) here:

Thanks to all for all of the varied suggestions (which
I will
definitely keep in mind for future projects). WD-40 did the trick
here; letting the tape soak for 2-3 hours loosened things up enough so
that the "tape" portion came right off, leaving behind the dried
adhesive. Soaking that for another couple of hours softened it to the
point where it scraped off easily with just a fingernail.
This also worked on the three panel switches that had masking tape
applied, however the adhesive appears to have marred the surface of
these switches a bit (not so much that it's really that noticeable,
though.)
Now that it's all cleaned up, it looks very very nice. I'll take some
pictures tomorrow.
