I dont think the Oxy Lift did anything.

whether it was because it didn't have the right ingredients, or because it simply has no effect on the bleach anyway.

because its a creme peroxide, it doesn't seem to dry out very badly.

I left it for 2 hours at a time, in direct sunlight, on about a 22 degree day ;)

I checked it after an hour, and reapplied the peroxide if I thought it was needed.

then, after 2 hours, I washed it all off, and reapplied the peroxide, and left it in the sun again.

did this 3 or 4 times total.

Replied to your help here, as I started another thread to directly address the issue, thanks!

Thanks for the advice for the peroxide! I might pick up a bottle tonight and the forecast looks promising for Sunday. I will try the top of the A1000 keyboard. It's really yellow!

How did it go? ;)

And as to where I found it...
Gumtree!

Paid $40, has no stand or remote... and it was a massive stuff around organising a time to collect, and even collecting it! :/

Its perfect though.

PS2 - YpBpr
Sega - SCART
Amiga - SCART
C64 - Svideo
PC - DVI
Set top box - VGA!

SCART, if it's RGB, is better than the composite I'm stuck with now. Wish I had a RGB SCART on my TV. My Amiga deserves better...

Some comparison pics..

Have you considered RGB to YpBpR?

Grundig is a premium brand in Australia?!

They're not in the UK!

Surely they're higher end than Soniq? :p

ah, more like this:

But based on the fact you consider the $40 GBS to be expensive, you're probably better off sticking with composite... :p ;)

Well, it depends on the increase in quaility over composite. That unit you posted sounds pretty cool, doing scaling and all that. Do you have one of those?

Or I can just buy a new TV with RGB SCART. I think it's about time soon anyway=D

I ordered one to see what its like, in theory, it should be as good as scart RGB. That advert doesn't say anything about scaling?

Problem with buying a tv with scart, is finding one!

Check your local gumtree, I reckon there's 2 or 3 low spec ones available for about $150 ;)

Hasn't arrived yet, might email them this weekend and see how long delivery normally takes, as it has been nearly 3 weeks ;)

This was made for a friend, and sold for a small profit ;)

I normally don't do subwoofer boxes for other people, but the port kerf was something I hadn't tried before so decided I'd give it a go.

Multiple cuts 90% of the way through the mdf, then bend it ;)
