I think Jon is right.

Perhaps the yellow that came off was tobacco?

Barry- MFP is a alkyd varnish product using mercury compounds for the fungal
resistance. These varnishes are very solvent resistant,  and are evident as
a semi clear yellow tinted over coat on all components of  a treated radio,
most treated radios are stamped  "MFP"  in a diamond shape on the chassis
after treatment.  Alodining is a chemical process similar to anodizing and
is more likely to be damaged by accident, MFP is very tough to remove.  Jon
