SNES The Official Yellow Super Nintendo Thread

[TamagotchiTamaHero24's icon TamagotchiTamaHero24 TamagotchiTamaHero24]

So, certain grey plastics are prone to a particular chemical reaction over time where it slowly turns yellow. This especially affects the OG PlayStation and the subject of this thread: the Super Famicom/Nintendo Entertainment System. I have seen many such poor systems in my time. While it can be fixed, it’s fair to assume the majority (60%?) of the systems that are effected stay effected forever… slowly yellowing into oblivion. This thread is for those poor souls.

I’ll start:

These poor fellas, including an original Famicom, are marked as junk. Poor things.

That's one of the reasons why I prefer black color for consoles.

Thankfully aftermarket shells are easy enough to come-by these days.

Mine has earned the yellow, not changing it.

Meanwile.... the modders.....

OOF! That's beyond salvageable.

Mine is yellow too. Leaving it as is, I don’t mind it.
