Whitening your yellowed Famicom

[Toneman]

Here's a page of a guy bleaching out a yellowed original PC Engine system

While bleaching seems to work, it replaces the Oxygen atoms bonded to the Bromine compound with Chlorine atoms. Chlorine is about half the size of Oxygen, this leaves the plastic very brittle because the surface is now full of microscopic pores (because the Oxygen atom has been replaced with a smaller one) and also the aggressive power of bleach destroys the plastic's original texture.

In conclusion, DON'T bleach your systems. Bleaching will destroy the plastic.

Use Retr0brite!

So, has anybody tried using Retr0bright? I'm kind of curious as to whether or not I should try it.

I'm gonna try it out as soon as I get my hands on some of that peroxide .
