 Both names are currently used by the solvent vendors.

 You just need to know the right people in labs.:)

Or head to your local plastics supplier - all of the ones I've ever
dealt with are more than happy to sell you all the useful solvents.

Incidentally, for those doing "front panel" restorations, talk to
a good sign-making shop.  It's rather straightforward
these days to get custom plastic panels made and printed.  I've had
this done several times and have been very satisfied with the results.
