How do I clean a smoker stained system?

Want to know why your SNES turned yellow?

It wasn't aliens, ultraviolet light or your mom's terrible cleaning habits.

For the real reason, read this article from vintage gaming. It sounds WAY more complicated than the simple answer: shitty plastic choice by Nintendo for the initial batch of machines that were made.

This link also has an extensive list of repair & restorations choices including ways to prevent "The YELLOWING" from occuring in the first place.

Stuff that turns yellow due to smoke is usually hazy, perhaps it is a combination of smoke and oxidation.

I hate yellowed systems, I have tried and tried to do something about it, until I cut one open and found it was yellow half of the way through

If you are talking ONLY smoking tar stains, realize tar is an organic compound.
You can use any liquid that makes organic compounds soluble.
Just make sure it's safe for plastic, and nonexplosive (unlike ether).

I have heard that denture cleaners that claim to remove smoking stains
work good on the white saturn.
