Hi all,
I'm new here and apologize in advance if my question was answered before (likely), my search came up empty.
I recently acquired an Indy (my first SGI wooho, one dream coming true!). It came complete with keyboard, mouse, cam, even the 21" trinitron monitor that I had to leave unfortunately as I have no place to put that. While it seems functionally fine, everything is pretty badly yellowed/discolored.
For the accessories I would assume I can use the usual retrobrite solution as for other retro computers. But for the machine itself I'm unsure - the discoloration is pretty bad and you can easily see where the monitor stood as that square is pristine still unlike the rest of the top. So due to the color, material etc. of the case not being the regular greyish ABS plastic can the same solution be used or would you recommend something else?
Thank you.
Cheers,
Radim
