RJ's Retrobrite investigations
Re: RJ's Retrobrite investigations
Aussie summer is pretty good for retrobright. I just drop it outside on a 30+ day. Not chemicals. It works, but slower. Once I dropped an STE case in the dishwasher and it came out grey. Don't ask me why..... and don't tell the missus.

That'd be the "salt" having reducing chemicals in it and the plastic being taken up to 60C, which is the optimum for the process.atari030 wrote: Wed Aug 14, 2024 11:37 am Aussie summer is pretty good for retrobright.

Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

Thought it might be something like that, not sure I'd do it again though.
