How do you prefer your amiga ... yellow or grey?
« on: July 06, 2010, 11:02:32 AM »
Ok,

This may sound as an awkward question. I have mixed feelings about whether to clean my A500+ or not. Seeing the following image I am not sure if I like my A500+ in grey or yellow;

Also I do not know if this happens to anyone of you, but sometimes I feel as it always was that yellowish colour ... it is as is I never remember it grey!

Regards,
Sim085

p.s. - if I clean it, then will it yellow again in the same way?

The top one's yellower than the manky Amigas we had at school in the 90s!

I'd go for the crisp clean beige-grey every time.

What;s the deal, nobody likes their machine looking like it's crusted in cat urine?

Sorry to bring this post up again. But does the cleaning formula that works for the plastic of the A500 also work for other yellowed plastic, such as the S1080 monitor and the GVP HD8+ ?? or you need other techniques for those?
