The yellowing in plastic products of that era was down to a fire retardant chemical within many electrical appliances and childrens toys which often aged white plastic visibly more over a course of time.
I do believe they stopped using it eventually?
One was Brominated flame retardant (BFR) Chemicals like polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) another was Antimony trioxide, another common flame retardant additive.
Ofcourse there are other reasons a plastic may yellow, but many will find their products yellowed even when not expose to sunlight etc. This is why.
