Well well!
I have 3 poly-61's to refurbish and mod (adding many pots and other cool goodies) and to finally resell later, and I was just last week looking at their beige buttons being discolored over time and was wondering if I could use some form of peroxide compound to do that.

Never heard of this RetrObright before, but thanks to you, now I know about it and will give it a shot in the coming days.
Will report later on how it went.

If all goes well, or if others confirm it worked ok on their P6, I will try it on my Polysix too. But those aren't too bad on mine.
Not sure how WHITE they are supposed to be though.
Always thought them as beige in the first place...

Cheers

Has anyone had experience with Retr0bright (http://retr0bright.wikispaces.com/) to turn them back to their original colour? Or any other methods?
