Where great old Macs live again!
Anybody here uses Retr0bright solution to get rid of yellowing ?
I started using this amazing compound to clean up my retro Macs.

Honestly, so far, it's only good news for me. It's like those dear computers look brand new again. The nasty yellowing is only bad memory from now on.
I need to take some pictures to show my own results, but lots of pics available on the wiki.
Did you try it out ? Any tips to make it more efficient (sometimes, I need to repeat the operation 2 or 3 times) ?

Type "yellowing" in the little search window in the upper right corner !
And visit James Wages's page, and Damian Ward (alphabetical order).
Their experiences are well documented on their pages.

Okay - I finally got around to do some testing.
I used regular 3% Hydrogen peroxide (from Wal-Mart), some Oxiclean (Wal-Mart) and a simple blacklight bulb (from Canadian Tire). It works dammit!
I know they said to use stronger H2O2 and a proper UV light, but I couldn't obtain those items locally. So I tried anyways.
I left it overnight and it definitely works! The only problem I had was getting the piece to stay submerged. You can also notice in the picture a white/yellow circle around the top of the mouse where the chemical evaporated (I didn't put enough solution in to account for this).
I am happy! Now I can submerge my Color Classic and get it back to new condition! Woo hoo! - Attachments:

Actually, I don't submerge at all.
Just brush over the stuff on the elements

So you use the gel type stuff?

Yes the gel I brush on, and let dry under the sun. Sometimes, I will brush some more if it dries too quickly.

It's snowing here, but when the sun shows up, it's even more powerful now

You're about 800 or 900 meters higher than we are here, but it stopped raining.
Germany is mourning about a football player, Robert Enke, Goalkeeper in our national team, committed suicide at 32 - leaving a wife and an adopted child behind.
The couple had lost their naturally born daughter in 2006 at the age of 2.
On Saturday the national team had a date with Chile in Cologne - it was cancelled.
