Hello to all of you,
I have a small practical question, which will be my first on this list.
I quickly looked in the archives but found nothing about this. I hope to
knock on the right door.
What is the best method to whiten the yellowed plastic of a Model 100
without damaging the screen or sanding (=smoothing) the relief or
erasing the inscriptions? I found several possibilities on the internet.
One of them is to rub the material with a baking soda paste. But the one
time I tried this, the matte plastic turned shiny. I considered dipping
the case and keyboard keys in household vinegar, but wanted to make sure
it wouldn't affect anything else. I also imagined bathing the yellowed
parts in hydrogen peroxide, but this product is very expensive in
Switzerland.
Thanks in advance; kind regards,
Jamil Alioui
