#atari 1040ST, retrobrighting went wrong! But, I do not mind, going forward with the build :) #retrocomputing #retrocomputers
@freeschool Thanks, I think the plastic is more sensitive than I'm used to with the Commodore 64 and maybe I should soak the whole case in liquid instead of smearing it with a brush
@josipretrobits
Ah yeah right less thick / more permeable perhaps.
And do remember that cleaning increases chances of these things or even over doing it easy (you probably know but I'm being protective of what can break in 5mins cleaning and otherwise would last lifetimes as 'dirty' or off white!)... this including breakage or 'wear and tear' while cleaning (atoms getting thinner),,.
but looks like you got away clean hehe :)
@josipretrobits I had the same effect when I bleached mine. Painted it some time after that, then sold it becsuse I could not stand it 😅 Guess the plastic is more sensitive than that of other machines. Wish there were new replacement cases for the ST.
@Datassette_User Ha ha, I won't paint mine because I think it would go from bad to worse :) but, Yes I know what you mean ...
@Wintermute_BBS ha ha ha ...
@Wintermute_BBS @josipretrobits That'll double the price on eBay. 🤪
@notawizard @Wintermute_BBS Well, it should be unique now :)
@josipretrobits @Wintermute_BBS We have to improve your sales pitch... "it's one of a kind, there are no others in the world like it!"
@notawizard @josipretrobits *ultra* *rare* !!!1!!
@josipretrobits Still pretty good!
And don't worry it will go cream again I think :)
What went wrong or could be better in your eyes?
