Colour changes in Amiga plastic cases
Was all models and regions where Amiga was sold equally affected by yellowing of the plastic ..? or did Commodore change the material later to avoid this phenomena ?
UV-light seems particullary bad. |

Re: Colour changes in Amiga plastic cases
I think they all suffered from this. It's caused by a fire retardant which degrades over time when exposed to sunlight.
You might want to look into mixing up a batch of retrobrite (http://retr0bright.wikispaces.com/). I tried this on some old hardware I'm restoring and even with a poor mixture of the stuff, it worked very well. You can check out my very amateur experiment with it here: http://mjpento.dyndns.org/blogs/z80/?p=115
