I recently restored several VT100 that were extremely yellowed as well
as filthy dirty.
I put the plastics in my bathtub and sprayed them heavily with "Krud
Kutter", intending only to remove the dirt. To my surprise, much of
the yellowing came off too.
Sometimes yellow is color change of the plastic, and sometimes it's just crud. Our
current home was rather yellow inside when we moved in. After I sprayed everything with
windex and wiped it all down, it was back to white. The yellow was simply a large amount
of tobacco residue from the chain smoking late owner.
