NNC surround yellowing
Is this unavoidable?
Just noticed my NNC monitor surround is starting to yellow a bit. I bought this NOS 6 years ago and I'm pretty sure everything matched back then, unless I'm going mad. The CP upper is the original and that has remained white, as has that bit in the middle (I forget the correct term) which was also NOS at the time.

In fact, I've just noticed one of the two VMU port cover bits is yellowing and the other isn't. FFS Sega

Unavoidable. The cp surround is composite material and the monitor surround is ABS if I remember correctly.

**** sake. This'll be like watching my hair go grey.
Possibly a silly question but lighting won't make a difference will it? I changed to LED bulbs in there earlier in the year.

Nah, it happens no matter the conditions. Even keeping them in storage they still yellow (short of storing them in a temperature controlled vacuum, maybe)

Retrobrite will bring it back to normal for a while but I think it will keep coming back.

Re: NNC surround yellowing
A friend of mine had a pretty good looking White NNC in storage ( dark room) for about a year while he was abroad, when it came back it was completly yellow. Mine is Standing right on the window with direct sun light and it has about the same yellowing as yours, really odd material.

Re: NNC surround yellowing
You should see mine, also NOS from ~6 years ago. Granted, I've had mine in a room with a lot of sunlight exposure. I've given up.SuperPang wrote:Is this unavoidable?
