Briarberry, could those be oil stains instead of nicotine? When I’ve seen machines like that, there’s usually a lot of oil buildup inside and under the machine too. It usually means that the previous owner oiled the machine plenty, maybe to the point of over-oiling it. The excess oil can eventually migrate to the outer surface of the machine and evaporate, leaving a stain.
