Re: Yellowed buttons and knobs - Retr0bright?

2013-07-06 by Chris

First - dunno why you don't like yellow or beige buttons. 

Second - if you're fixing up some P61s, I have a joystick that ill sell you if you need one. 

Cheers,

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