Mine's still white, but I'd always heard there were different types of plastic used in consoles (and computer cases) back then, some of which would become discolored, and others wouldn't. Might be true, unless anyone in your house has been a smoker in the last 25 years.
You are correct, it's the plastic. Or rather, the fire retardant mixed into the plastic.
