I’m absolutely against retrobright but i wanted to try with a yellowed Commodore VIC-20 / Amiga 1200 Keyboard and Amiga 1200 TOP Case.
Many people told me to try, but disagreeing with this technique, i never did, but later my friend Federico di Dato of Retrobitlab has tried it and actually seemed to work, i state that i did not believe it right away, the first thing i thought; it seemed like a cosmic bullshit.
Ok, i have to change my mind, it works!, below are the various phases and times of exposure to the sun (a beautiful sunny day!)
VIC-20 (front):
- Let’s start with the first photo just exposed under the sun, then 6 hours, +7 hours, 7 hours, so a total of 3 days = 20 hours.
VIC-20 (back):
- Let’s start with the first photo just exposed under the sun, then 2 and a half hours, 7 and a half hours so a total of 2 days = 10 hours.
Amiga 1200 Keyboard:
- Let’s start with the first photo just exposed under the sun, then 7 and a half hours x 3 days = 22 and a half hours.
Amiga 1200 TOP Case:
- Let’s start with the first photo just exposed under the sun, then 7 and a half hours x 3 days = 22 and a half hours.
I have not used any chemical product, there is nothing more to say.
Lightbrighting technique:
Wait, so you just put it out in the sun? That’s it??
