Yellow Amiga case.... What can be done???
« on: February 22, 2004, 06:59:01 AM »
As if I'm the only one with a yellowing case!

Is there a way to brighten it up any?

Has anybody had luck with a bleach solution or any cleaners at all?

Although I don't plan on leaving my A4000 in it's case for much longer (a couple of months TOPS or when http://revanchellc.com gets his Amiga 4000 cases ready.

But I still want it to look nice!

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

AFAIK there aint no real way of getting it off, it's some sort of chemical reaction... but im not 100% sure. Paint it some MaD colour!!!

Tempting......
I don't know!

It's just the front panel the floppy drive bezel, and the blanking cover below that have started to yellow. Ironicly the cover that I had to remove when I added a CDrom, is perfect white as new!?

Its caused by UV light, aka the sun afaik. Smoking dosent help, but that yellow can be removed, the sun one cannot. Sad, and it looks crap too.
