Terry,
While you'll find that Yamaha is very generous in their policy on
replacing Ivorite keyboards that have become discolored due to hand
oils reacting with the first generation formulation of Ivorite (which
has a grain which emuates ivory and is semiporous), I don't think they
go so far as to replace yellowed plastic tops or fronts.
