That is the main reason why I've never bothered to do it to any of my
equipment. It's relatively common (but not universal) for there to be a
re-occurrence of yellowing. I'm more concerned about the fragility of the
plastic with repeated applications than the discoloring. I've received
certain vintage equipment that wasn't retrobrited that had brittle, cracked
plastic, and that's a huge pain.
