Cleaning Amiga hardware!
« on: May 20, 2003, 10:24:08 AM »
Hi,

What can anybody recommend for cleaning an absolutely filthy Commodore 1940 monitor casing, and a filthy and yellowed A1200 casing???
I want to return both casings to looking as new as possible, without doing any damage.

Thanks!
Steve.

Put in a dishwasher on a pan wash with a Finish "RED" powerball tablet.

Comes out like its 1992  :-P  :-P  :-P  :-P

Same with yellowed keys.
 


I'm tempted to give it a try! I'll be stripping down the casing anyway, so it'll be an ideal opportunity to give it a go! I'll try the keys too! How easily do keys detach from the keyboard?

Anyone got any other cleaning suggestions, especially for the monitor?

Mr Sheen will remove the yellow crap and it does a fantastic job, just spray wait a few mins then wipe.


Mr Sheen doesn't damage the plastic then?
I thought it was meant for polished wood?!

In other words, screen/telephone wipes?
