    Funnily enough, when I went Into a sally beauty, asked em for that stuff, they asked me if i was using it for bleaching...bones? Apparently they’ve got someone who does that with the stuff, said they’re used to folks coming in for it for odd uses like that, and that for mine being used to restore old plastics was the least weird one they’ve seen.

    But....that's just common sense. Of COURSE it's not permanent, NOTHING is. Eventually the plastics will yellow again, how long that takes depends entirely on how it's stored/used post treatment. Assuming it took around 30 years to get that bad to begin with, it's not unreasonable to expect a decade or more out of a well-cared-for restored piece.

    As an upholstery/car guy who loves your videos, I have a tip. Buy a good steamer like a mcculloch 1370 and some plastic trim tools. The steamer would remove any grime or dirt without chemicals, and the plastic trim tools will give you an opportunity to scrape or pry without worrying about damaging any plastic. The steamer would be handy for a lot of other tasks as I've noticed you're a neat freak like me, haha. You'd be amazed at what you can clean with just steam. Anyways, I'm just throwing it out there.

Plus of course many hours spent in King's Quest V, which got me into point-and-clicks back in the day. And of course he had the matching monitor, keyboard and mouse with it at the time, though I think he's thrown away the system since then, sadly. Still gives me nostalgic memories though seeing that distinctive LC II box ;)

    That noise is an issue on ALL LC Series Machines, including the Classic, Classic II and Color Classic/Color Classic II Macs (They all use the same or similar board design. The issue is in two parts: Logic Board Caps going bad, thus the Logic board needs to be recapped. The second part is the LC PSU, the caps on the 5/12V side needs to need to be replaced as well. Recapping the LC PSU is simple if it is the Astek PSU. The only issue is that you need to get the same physical sized cap. I did several LC PSU and the proper uf and voltage caps but some were larger than what was in there and caused a bit of problem in closing the PSU case.. Recapping the Logic board, take it slow and your time to recap it. Good luck. If you need some more advise on this, reply and I'll send you my email for more detailed correspondence.

    Could also be a filter cap related to the cpu fan. I have seen a similar issue inside an old vcr with a built in amplifier. Every time the motor for the cassette playback moved, popping and clicking could be heard through some connected speakers. Replacing a single capacitor on the motor got rid of the noise.
