Cleaning a yellowed computer


Ian

So funny that. I came across... whoo err ! I'll rephrase that.. When I 
found that my much treasured Teleng games machine [ see picture ] 
http://www.scuzzscink.com/amiga/a_scuzz_nov26/a_scuzz_nov2005_122.jpg 
had literally burnt into the casing, well the wire had, I became a touch 
frantic that this may be happening with all my old computers where the 
electric wire and cables were coming into contact with the machine. So I 
did some digging and discovered this discussion on a Barbie site of all 
places. Seems that these old plastics, rubber etc degrade and become 
sticky. The solution is simple ' talcum powder . So I very quickly 
dragged the wire through some talc and actually wound it into a big with 
talc in it. And its worked and the wire has no longer degraded.

Having checked through a number of machines it seems to be a rare issue. 
Mostly cus the cable was more rubber I guess.

And I put away childish things ......
