Hope your last longer but my apple IIc only took a year to become yellow again after getting the peroxide treatment.

I don't mind it it starts to yellow a bit over time, as long as the yellowing is uniform, which it wasn't in this machine's case. (I don't allow direct sunlight into my home and my home doesn't get extremely warm, so this will be a good test case. )

The last stretch for now!

The most remarkable thing here is that the “indirect method” that I’ve been using on the power supply brick has worked well! (I think one or two more treatments will do it!)

Using an optimised version this process you may be able to dry retrobright complete machines without having to disassemble them!

RE: Restoring an Apple IIc - Irinikus - 08-11-2025

Hopefully this is the last stretch for the Power Supply Brick!

Well I'll just do what I always do, which is yank the thread right off-topic: I used to work for what was then one of the largest hydrogen peroxide manufacturers in the world, FMC Corporation. Link: http://www.fmc.com

Back on thread: Irinikus your process turned out so great, nice work!

Cool! What do they use Hydrogen Peroxide for in agriculture?
