Like it's a SNES made from a batch of plastic parts prone to yellowing with age. Nothing to do with nicotine 90% of the time.

>> No.5276925

It's actually caused by flame-retardant chemicals in the plastic. Nicotine staining is stickier and darker, also less 'consistent' in its coverage.

It's the fire retardant in the plastics. It breaks down over time. UV light and some acids can at least change the color back to something lighter.

>> No.5277820

>>5277767
Because the lack of bromination indicates there wasn't enough flame retardant in it during manufacture for it to be compliant.
One of many stupid regulations we will pay for down the road, like ROHS.

If was stain you could just clean it with a microfiber cloth and a cleaner. I have a Potassium based cleaner that works great for Nicotine stains. Too bad it won't work on that, troll.

Either from the sun or through the sheer power of stupidity?

I keep my smokers in the back yard next to the grills. Must be some other dark magic yellowing things. Granted I never had a big problem with yellowing anyway.

You retards.

The coloration happens with the presence of UV light. The parts still intact don't stay in contact with sunlight.

I too remember having to deal with the little covers for those specific parts.
Man they were a real pain to put on whenever you were done playing the console.
I wonder why it was so important to cover just those bits.
It's a shame they weren't built to last and you can't find them anywhere anymore.

Both UV and heat greatly accelerate the yellowing but are not strictly necessary for it to proceed slowly anyway.
