[Coco] RE: [Color Computer] Case & Keyboard Restoration

[Glen VanDenBiggelaar]

I have had some luck with "Fantastic" and a Scotchbrite pad on a Very dirty 
Multi-pac (old style white one) just becarfull around the TRS 80 logo bar, 
Fantastic can cause it to Fog up (athough it could have been the scotchbrite 
pad. It doesn't get it 100% but it did bring it a long way. Most of the 
"Yellowing" is ether 1 of 2 things, Tar from Smoking or UV from sunlight. If 
its tar, that can ber removed by a good cleaning agent, if its UV, it has 
discollered the plastic, not just the pain on the surface. I have been 
trying to get the yellow of my white CoCo 1, but it looks like I may have to 
re-paint it.
