I wonder should it be considered a serious breach of honesty in the #retrocomputing community to fail to report previous retrobrighting attempts, when selling on a piece of equipment. Buyers shouldn't have to ask.
I'd certainly want to know. For me, it could be make or break for the sale.

Y bueno para terminar el monitor en acción. Se ve genial.

Y esto es todo. Intentaré guardarlo en un post.
La verdad que es un trabajo que bien te puede llevar una semana si no sabes lo que haces.
Pero mínimo unos días. También es importante no mezclar mil mierdas y disponer de sol. Justo yo he tardado más porque no he tenido buenos días de sol estos días. He tenido calima en Madrid.
La calima no era tan frecuente hace años me temo. Ahora es normal.
-
Creo que ya lo voy a dejar así. Lo he montado y con este color ya me vale.
No es 100% como seguramente era originalmente pero se le ha quitado.el amarilleo al 90% por lo menos (o más).
En el siguiente toot pongo un antes y después.
-
El agua oxigenada tradicional no es muy efectiva con la parte más amarilla del monitor.
Digamos que tras más de 24 horas el resultado no es para nada el esperado. Algo se ha quitado pero no me sirve.
He optado por agua oxigenada de peluquería (peróxido de hidrógeno al 40% concretamente). He ido a una tienda de productos de peluquería porque esto en una peluquería te sale seguro que más caro si es que te lo venden.
Veamos que tal ahora al sol.
-
He terminado estos días con la limpieza de algunas de las piezas del monitor que menos amarilleaban.
Y acabo de sumergir en agua oxigenada la pieza más amarilleada. La dejaré unos días envuelta con un film para ver si le da un poco el sol.
Estos días por desgracia hemos tenido nublado y calima.
Seguiré subiendo fotos en cuanto vea algo de progreso.
-
En estas fotos se ve el color original del monitor en la parte donde lleva el soporte. Es como grisáceo no blanco.
He dejado algunas piezas sumergidas en agua oxigenada. Veamos si las deja limpias.
-
Estas piezas no están tan amarillentas. No obstante le he dado buena limpieza y secado.
-
Voy a ir poco a poco estos días subiendo en este hilo el proceso de limpieza de un monitor VGA de 15 pulgadas .
En estas fotos se ve el monitor con partes amarilleadas con el paso del tiempo.

Don't #RetroBright your vintage equipment.
@TechTangents reports on a decade-old retrobrighting job.

@andi @ActionRetro @andre_igler @Katti @datacop Die 80/20-Regel scheint auch beim #G4M4k zu gelten; die letzten 20% brauchen 80% der Zeit. Heute: Tastatur auseinandernehmen für den beherzten Spülgang und das anschließende Bleichen morgen und die nächsten Tage. #DIY #DesperateHousehackers #RetroBright #Retr0brite

My latest short is purely about retrobrighting a Mac SE/30. Retrobrighting the 🍊🤡 Macintosh SE/30 #retrobright #vintagemacintosh

@Katti hattest du nicht neulich was zu #Retrobright gepostet? Frage für diese Tastatur und die viele Sonne da draußen ... #DesperateHousehackers #DIY #Repair #G4M4k

I exposed the reactor core once again to rearrange the parts.
Now the front part is face down, fully covered by peroxide but not lit by UV. Will it still get brighter this way?
The bottom part is still half covered, and will need to be flipped every few hours.
I could just add tap water to rise the level, but it would also dilute the solution, and I still want to #retrobright the #Amiga 3000
front panel and the mouse later. -
Who would hav thought that I successfully retrobright Adidas Superstars at some point. @retro #yellowing #Retrobrighting #Retrobright #adidas #shoes #superstars

Working on my Hello Kitty #dreamcast, was in the #retrobright vaporbox for 12 hours, but not much effect. Maybe the hydrogen peroxide has expired? Would have had it in there for longer but wanted to test the box with a Gamecube shell. #retrorevival #retrogaming #sega
-
Spicy #gamecube! Gave it a serving of Dasty. Kitty Dreamcast is in the #retrobright vaporbox at the moment so no space for the GC. Will mount picoboot in the broadband bay as I don't like online play and have no friends to play on LAN :) #retrorevival #retrogaming
-
Tomorrow a day to myself and no fires to put out. Planning to fix/mod a spicy orange #gamecube, thought I'd throw it in the retrovape box now and found a #famicom shell inside. Been there for 3 months, peroxide dried out, still yellow. #retrorevival #retrogaming #retrobright
-
The weather was so nice today that I decided to do some #retrobright on my old #MacintoshSE. For a first try, it turned out pretty well😎 One part still needs some fixing, but overall, I’m happy with it. Now I just need to put it all back together. #retro #vintageMac

#retrobright one of my #Amiga 600 cases today using hair dye.
UV-Index was high here today therefore I just put it outside and let "the magic" happen.
I think the outcome is quite okay.

New video! I'm sharing absolutely everything I know about de-yellowing plastics and upgrade my trusty retrobrighting box in this episode.

Hat schon mal jemand #Retrobright beim Brotkasten probiert? Geht das bei der Farbe überhaupt? #commodore64

little side project ... C64 keyboard restoration, cleaning & "retrobrighting"... A 12% solution of hydrogen peroxide worked smoothly in this case ;-)

New video! I'm trying to transform the "lost cause" Amiga 1200 from the previous video into a full computer using spare parts from my stash.

Apple IIgs screen. No amount of #retrobright would have saved this one. The crust on it was unbelievable. Took 0000 steel wool and a LOT of scrubbing and a LOT of patience for this one... THis isn't even the worse side! And yes this is the bathtub :-) #apple2 #retrocomputing #vintageapple #retrogaming

Retrobrighting in progress.
Hopefully, I won't overdo it this time as the immersion method is quite tricky.

First attempt at #VaporBrighting a case.
Luckily the #GameBoy case has a "test square" for reference.😁
