Omega-TI Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Sometimes Retro Gaming rigs are well known for their aged and yellow appearance. Do you have any photos that you think is the best example of the worst of the worst in the "Old Yella" looks department? Who can post the most atrocious yellow looking old gaming rig or computer? It's not limited to age alone, even nicotine stains qualify! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 For some reason I don't have any truly cheese yellow system despite owning both VIC-20's and Amiga 1200. A brief image search brought up this beauty, where half the shell had been treated with Retr0brite for 8 hours. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I seriously do not have a reaction image which can fully address and express my reaction to this... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "cheese yellow" grading scale for Retro Computers? I like it! Help me out here, on a 10 point scale, which cheeses would you use from lightest to darkest? That photo is a great example of what Retro-Brite can do! I'm impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendawg Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 ^ That looks like paint. Does it even count if it's painted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 You think that is paint? Don't know why anyone would do that but okay... Disqualified since I posted it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nateo Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Quick aside: am I the only one here who likes the way slightly yellowed computers look? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discgolfer72 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 how about partial cheese just stole the keyboard from this one to fix the one above it its interesting how only the left side aged to a dark gouda while the rest stayed a mellow Swiss 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Usotsuki Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 To me the yellowing of an old computer is a patina. I wouldn't retrobrite it away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
