I love how clean and white all your hardware is. It all looks brand new.

  Most of it is painted, that's why its not yellowing. Unfortunately the paintwork is a little worse for wear in a few places. I did dig up the paint codes that IBM used, but what would be difficult to factor in is the slight discolouring over time.

    Why didn’t you try retrobrite?

      For the most part, it doesn't need it. There are two plastic plugs on the top of the CRT which cover up some screws, those did need retrobriting, but the rest of the casing is painted plastic and metal, the ABS underneath is neither visible nor exposed to UV light. Also the paint is actually scuffed and lightly worn off in a few places, retrobrite won't do anything about that. It either needs new paint, or I need to accept it as patina.
