My 1969 Chicago Coin has brown discolor and so far the only thing that removes them without ruining the paint are alcohol pads. It would take me months to do it this way. My 1976 Zaccaria had the same stains. Anyone know what it is, and the easiest way to clean it off? Thanks.

I have found this to be nicotine in the past. A Magic Eraser has worked great for me. Just do a small section in an unseen part of the cabinet before you go to town.
I was going to say either Ultra Tide or good ol' fashion bleach, but then I read the rest of the title 
Quoted from pezpunk:sure, "paint".
I know that I am sick in the head, but that's exactly what I was thinking... ha! 
On a more serious note, my trusty magic eraser works wonders - good luck!
