Has anyone been successful with removing the yellowed lacquer from a Gottlieb cabinet? I'm not even sure it can be, without removing the base color and stenciled colors.

Thanks for the reply. I did start out mildly using KrudKutter and it did clean up a lot of the surface grime. Followed up with a rubbing compound and polished it. It's amazing how white the paint is under the stainless side panels. But totally eliminating the yellow looks like a losing battle.
