From: Jaimie Vandenbergh on 9 Mar 2010 10:17 I *think* that Jim's got the best collection of yellowing old tat in the group, but I may be wrong. Clear and investigative notes on discoloured plastics, and what you may or may not be able to do to get them shiny again. Some nice pics of part-yellowed kit, showing different responses to UV and ambient oxygen. http://vintagecomputing.com/index.php/archives/189 Cheers - Jaimie -- BE PURE BE VIGILANT BEHAVE
