The Retrobright Project tells you how to bring the white back in old plastic cases stained due to time. This can obviously apply to the Commodore 64 as pictured and other gear like the Roland CR-8000. "Anyone who has dug their old computer or console out of the cupboard or loft for some retro gaming will probably have noticed that it maybe hasn’t worn too well with the test of time. The plastics these machines were made of is called ABS and to make it flame retardant (just in case it catches fire after a marathon session) the plastics manufacturers added chemicals that caused the plastic turn yellow or, even worse, brown over a long period of time."
