Well hopefully somebody can chime in with some SNES results since it appears between here and PC-Engine FX forums, it seems to be working rather well for all PC-Engine stuffs.

Well, I'm going to be trying it on my PCE as soon as I get the gamebit I ordered a couple of days ago. Will take before & after pics
From what I observed when my PC Engine Duo-R controller was taking a 2 day bleach bath, one sign that it's working is that off little brown pieces of sediment settling at the bottom of the bowl. Residue shrivels up and crumbles.
EDIT: BTW when using bleach, don't use metal bowls. The metal absored the bleach and ruined the bowl and we had to throw it away. Best thing to use is maybe a plastic bucket or some form of tupperware.
Shoot Man! Did you not read my post?
I will get around to editing this thing again.
Well, I can firmly recommend this now, after my yellowed PC Engine took a 24-hour bleach bath yesterday and came up looking pristine pearly-white I'll try and get some comparison pics up in the next cople of days.
Good to hear! Looking forward to more pictures.Originally Posted by anagrama
Hopefully someone can try out an SNES soon.

I have a SNES to try, dunno when I'll have time though, and I guess I can scrap my....umm.... "Crest-whitening strips" experiment , this one seems to work good so far.
feitctaj !
. Actually, I think Crest Whitening Strips are basically strips of bleach. Are they not? So, it just might work.
No one has posted if this works on a SNES, so I have a SNES soaking right now. I'll take it out of the bleach tomorrow evening. Here are the before pics:

Here's further proof with a couple of pics of my PCE. The pictures aren't the best, but the difference is obvious
Before:
After:
That is a big difference. Was the yellowing on the inside also like the SNES? The SNES is soaking, and will be ready by tomorrow evening.
Tony
No, it was just on the surface. It'll be interesting to see if this works on the SNES - good luck!
I hope it works also, I have about 5 or 6 that are like this.

Is there a posibility of this getting a SNES "too white?" After all, the SNES is not supposed to be a pure white, more of a light blueish-gray.
You oxidized that bowl.Originally Posted by Lord Contaminous
Note to everyone, bleach is a VERY strong oxident. By putting it in contact with metal you are going to really cause some damage. Rust is a form of metal oxidation.
Also, please do not ever mix bleach with an acid of any kind!!! This means things like vinegar or even baking soda. You will produce HCl gas which can do major damage to your lungs and eyes!

So how'd your SNES turn out?Originally Posted by godsey1
It would seem you are taking off a layer of plastic when you do this, as the plastic is yellowed as a result of an oxidation process (like when metal rusts, only this is on plastic).
Also, may of these plastics are yellowed all the way through. I'd bet if you cracked some of the plastic after de-yellowing, you would see the middle still yellow on some items.
