So it's UV rays that cause the yellowing, huh? Where does that come from? I know sunlight has it, but do normal light bulbs in rooms of houses generate UV rays?

No, but it only takes one little ray to start the process off :-(but do normal light bulbs in rooms of houses generate UV rays?
I asked about what generates UV rays because it seems the plastic assorbs the rays and yellow at different rates. Mine was in active use daily for over 10 years and when I finally packed it up in 2002 it was only a little yellow in some spots. Others I have seen have gone TOTALLY yellow in half that time.
And when did Nintendo switch over to the 'non yellowing' plastic? Did the 'yellow' problem only affect the first run? Mine dates from December of 1991, probaly made a few months before that.

Now that I have not been able to find out. Althought it would be interesting to know. I have spent around 5 days on this and have still to find out certain things.when did Nintendo switch over to the 'non yellowing' plastic?
Maybe only Nintendo know?
Does anyone have an SNES (or Super Fami) made in 1991 that shows signs of yellowing?
My girlfriends SNES and the SNES shell i have sitting around both say "1991" on them and neither one of them shows any signs of yellowing.
Possibility is infinity! You must be satisfied!

Mine has a copyright of 1991, and it's not yellowed.

So based on what we have so far 1991 is a year on little or no yellowing of systems.
So it seems that some point after 1991 Nintendo switched to the nasty plastic that yellows over time.

I pre-ordered my PAL SNES before launch and it's still MINT. No yellowing. Anyone mistreating a snes/sfc should be thrown in jail!

As I said, I got mine in December of 1991 and it has yellowed slightly in some parts.

Well, I just checked my other one, and it had a copyright of 1991, and it was severly yellowed.
"I am a cipher, wrapped in an enigma, smothered in secret sauce."
So much for that theory.

The moral is, don't **** with Uncle Tim when he's been drinking!
I might pick up a yellow one on the cheap just to mod/paint it.
