Impressive!  :clap: What about controllers though?  Would you leave the little overlay sticker thing on? Or is it fairly easy to remove/reattach?



Hey Kaijiboy, I did this myself not to long ago. I left the overlay on the controllers and it turns out just fine.

Good to know, turbokon. I would lean towards leaving the overlay on as well as the hydrogen peroxide did not appear to affect strong adhesives. The two small felt pads that the CD-ROM lid rests on when in the closed position stood up fine and remained in place.

Please get back with us in a year to let us know how it looks then. Mine re-yellowed quite a bit.

It's good to know the process worked on the CDROM2 unit as well. I had heard the plastics are different and it doesn't work the same way, but yours seemed to have gotten quite a bit whiter.

Wow that's excellent this thread should be in the repair section.  You're all going to call me crazy but I think the white pce and cd drive look better when they're yellowed.

I don't know, about doing that to my PCE unit. The PCE logo looks faded, along with the CD-rom logo which is swiped off a bit. It is not yellow but it is not white either. If I did that, I think the print on the system would fade away, as well.

I am just looking at the pictures, in comparison. That looks godlike compared to my PCE unit. I am just glad I can still play cds after leaving the cd running for more then three days straight. I will show you a picture after I get my MSR in the mail.

Looks dang nice.  I hope it lasts years and years before re-yellowing, if at all.  8)

Stop eating yogurt whilst playing Buster Bros. and you'll be fine.

There's the LaserActive with NEC PAC and the Sharp X1 Twin computer (photos) that has a PC Engine built into it. And perhaps the Vistar but it might be a very dark gray.

Toldddddd you so :D

Did you find it way easier to deal with than making the Retrobrite paste recipe?  

Nice job using that plastic container too.  I almost always use fishtanks and leave them out in the driveway.

I didn't try making Retr0Bright since your suggestion was so much easier. Buy hydrogen peroxide. Pour. Wait :D

One question for you: How long is the hydrogen peroxide good for? I did notice it produced less air bubbles as time went on.
