Try lighter fluid, the kind that went into old fashioned Zippo lighters. I've had some success with that on various things. Of course, there is also the possibility that the ink has thoroughly permeated the paint to the point that it will not come off. Then, you'd be faced with the more difficult choice of whether to repaint it, leave it as is, or perhaps to further use that non-functioning model 26 as a parts donor, providing the chassis is compatible.

Mike, when I worked at the front desk at Disney resorts we would get black Sharpie on the desktops. I'm not sure what kind of stone product they were made of but a lady that worked with us told me how to remove it. She would first color over the spot with a highlighter, then would wet a paper towel with hand sanitizer and wipe the spot right off. A plain Lysol wipe would not remove it but her method always did. I'm not sure if there is a spot you could test it first.

Hand sanitizer I often use hand sanitizer as well, never tried it with a highlighter first. If rubbing alcohol doesn’t work though I’m not sure the hand sanitizer would either as that is probably the main ingredient in it that removes the marker. | ||

Drawing over the permanent marker with a dry erase marker has helped me in the past, but I'm not sure it'll work for something that has been on there for years or decades. | ||

Um
When I worked at Walgreens people wrote rap verses on the bathroom stalls. The pharmacist sprayed 90 isopropyl alcohol 91 proof and it came off like butter.
Soak it with alcohol. Gas removes impurities off aluminum kirby polished bodies. It's the texture of the paint oil or water based? Try paint remover take off the paint repaint it. | ||

I would try using a magic eraser. They always impress me with what they will remove without causing damage. They can take paint off if you’re too aggressive so take it slow and sneak up on it. | ||
