I use googone. Do test it on a location
that doesn't show first.
It slowly cuts plastic but I've found it is useful to remove
old oxidized surfaces and polish it. It uses orange oil
and acetone as far as I know.

Subject: Solvents for removing very old masking tape from front panels?
My PDP-8/L arrived this afternoon (in one piece and without any damage)
and I'll be going over it and cleaning it up over the next few days.
Looks like it won't take much more than elbow grease to make most of it
look nice again,but there's a big piece of masking tape stuck right
above the switches. Age has more or less permanently affixed this to
the front panel -- any recommendations as to how to remove this without
damaging the front panel?
Thanks,
Josh
