          You can not only clean it but restore some of the original coloring if the plastic has yellowed:

            I would rather get the old hardware going if possible.

                      This looks fantastic. I was thinking of buying an old GameBoy and putting a pi in it. Maybe I'll do that.

                        I've used this, and it does work pretty well.
