Retro-Brighting a Vintage Macintosh Plus
Ғылым және технология
Using the 8-Bit Guy's retro-bright submersion technique I've restored a vintage Apple Macintosh Plus computer to it's original colour.
The key ingredients are: liquid hydrogen peroxide 10% (33 volume), sunlight, and warm water.

This method looks quite a bit easier than the other method I’ve seen used. Just throw things in a plastic container, wait a day, done!

Pretty much - and it's way more uniform as well
this is awesome! ironically, doing exactly the same thing with my plus.... but wanted to retro bright it! Get that peroxide at Costco? Looks like a familiar bottle ;)

I found a better source on high strength peroxide. Can be found a local hydrophonics store - usually in %30 bottles for really cheap.
Heh, from SSX to retro-computing😉. I merely kid. Tbh, I dig it, considering I'm a bit of a retro-computing nut myself. I only wish I had the space (or money, although for my personal interests a lot of the stuff I want isn't prohibitively expensive... yet) for any sort of collection though :( That'll have to wait until I move out though, lol
Nice informative video. So what is the ratio of water/peroxide?

Hi Bill - I used 30Vol (10%) hydrogen peroxide and I'd say it was about a 1:10 ratio with water. A few learnings - hot water helps speed things along - my bin eventually warmed up. As well, I found a really great and cheap source of high strength peroxide after I made this video - it can be found at most hydrophonic stores in 40% (wow!) liquid bottles.
Will this work on white push fit aircraft models? Got a few yellowed ones.

I think it probably will. Works on most yellowed plastics. Best would be to try it out on one.
