Default Discolouring of a GPO 746 phone?

Hi All,

I recently acquired a 746 telephone and have a question on possibly removing discolouration of the outside surfaces. I have attached a photo which I hope will show the problem.

The bulk of the outer surfaces are an "ivory" colour but the area underneath the handset and the face of the handset that is downwards when "on the hook" is white. I suspect that the phone was used in a environment where there were heavy smokers and was originally white all over, although there is no smell of smoke. Another thought, is discolouration by strong sunlight a possible cause?

Is there a surface cleaner that members could recommend or is this discolouration not removable without damaging the surface?

Thanks

Roger
