Once upon a time? NAPA had a spray can of sticker removal that would lift out the solvent in the glue so that all that was left was the rubber solid and it rubbed right off afterward. It was under their own brand name, don't know if it is still available now haven't looked recently. It was not harmful to the old lacquer style paints from the 40's - 50's.
Might be worth a try if it is still there.

Subject: Re: [TekScopes] What removes sticker residue without hurting the blue paint?
Try Goo Gone, a citrus based product (not to be confused with Goof Off, a
paint remover). I have used this to remove cal sticker adhesive from
several Tek and Agilent instruments. Be gentle!
