De-yellowing gray PCE consoles
« on: November 09, 2013, 06:52:23 AM »
Anyone have and experience bleaching or othetwise de-yellowing CoreGrafxPCE LT/Shuttle casings?

I believe that I bleached my last CoreGrafx pad, but my memory is fuzzy and I no longer have the pad.

I think that it should work as well as bleaching a white PCE system.

Yeah, looks pretty good compared to most gray PCE systems/pads that have yellowing, but I'd like to try bleaching it if it will make any positive difference and won't ruin any logos or anything.

Should work.  I have tried oxidating a bunch of abs plastics in the university lab.  Bleach itself generally showed improvement on plastic in good shape.  Never tried it with any pc engine stuff though.

I was mostly concerned about the screen. I've had hot water and bleach ruin the finish of some Sega stuff. Since Game Gears are locally cheaper than the price of a replacement Nomad screen-cover shipped, I'm going to test it out by bleaching the top half of a Game Gear to see if there are any negative results.
