For the longest time I thought the yellowing was caused by these devices being in smoking households. Because my friends who lived in smoking households always had their systems yellow like this while mine never did. But then a friend who I know had never had anyone smoke in his house had his SNES yellow, and then I had a cat water fountain yellow (and I've NEVER allowed any smoking in my place). Then I saw the 8-bit guy's video about it, and it turns out it's ACTUALLY caused by UV light, which explains why my stuff never yellowed. I always kept my stuff in a room with heavy curtains so it stayed dark. But my cat water fountain was kept in the living room, and the side that yellowed was on the side that faced the window.

The yellowing has nothing to do with smoke. You can tell that by the fact that the yellowing is worse on the front than on the back. You can even see where parts of it were in the shade and thus the right color. This type of yellowing is caused by long term exposure to UV light (usually the sun, but household fluorescent lights also put out enough UV to cause this over time). If you want the chemistry involved, it's caused by UV-catalyzed breakdown of bromine-containing fire retardant chemicals in the plastic. I think this is why it's a lot more common to have plastic on electronics be darker colors (like black) these days, because bromine doens't show up on black plastic the way it does on light grey.

kevin3003 From what I read online, it has nothing to do with bad treatment. “It turns out in most cases its caused by bromine, used as flame retardant in the ABS plastic. Over time it forms a stable complex with atmospheric oxygen on the surface of the plastic. Different batches of plastic for the same device can have different bromine levels, hence the yellowing is often uneven across parts of even the same unit. The process is accelerated by UV light or heat - hence even the non-UV-exposed inside of consoles can yellow (or even items in unopened packages).” www.neogaf.com/threads/yellowing-old-consoles-the-solution.899984/

Its just me or this whrite background really steal the feel of the videos.

Beni, I totally agree, I like the real feel of it. and I used to enjoy going to sleep to these, but now the white background is so bright that I can’t do it anymore
@ls9015 жыл бұрын
I guess that white background it's just for consoles restorations. Maybe 'cause it's eletronics.

I love how you can play small mini games on the cartridge from the Dreamcast controller.

I totally love it when people put "fake-dirt" on their stuff they are showing for a restauration. The yellowing would have been enough... why faking dirty fingerprints and doing some shoepolish-wash on the underside?

I knew this was coming. Was disappointed when you didn't clean it along with the console but then I remembered: good things come to those that wait 😁 And they're better in small doses 😀 Stay blessed dude 🙏
