Yellowing of SNES/SFC systems and games
« on: July 12, 2009, 10:59:11 PM »

We have all seen the yellowing of SNES/SFC systems and some of its games so my question is simple.  Some SNES carts but alot of SFC carts have the backs of them yellowed and its a pain to look at.  Infact some of the SFC games I've won on ebay looked new on the front where the pic was taken but were yellowed on the back. 

I'm literally tempted to pickup a yellowed SNES and take it apart to respray it another color.  Is it worth it to pay the extra $$ for a non-discolored SNES?  Or should I just keep my perfect condition SNES in a climate controlled enviornment and just spray paint a yellowed one black or something?

Thoughts?

I've never kept my SNES in a climate-controlled environment, just my living room, and it looks fine. I don't think it matters how you take care of the console; if it's going to turn yellow it will turn yellow, and if it's not going to turn yellow it won't.

I've never heard of normal SNES's costing more than discolored SNES's, but I guess it makes sense. If there's a big difference between the prices, you might as well go for the discolored one. There's nothing wrong with 'em, apart from looking ugly. A repainted SNES would be awesome.

I think you're way too much out for the need of appearance. California would like a word with you, in fact. :tongue:

My SNES and PS1 are grungy looking as hell. Years of dust layered on them...

My original SNES was pretty awful, but I gave that away to a friend when I ended up getting three of them off eBay. None of my new ones have the yellowing problem. My NES has it pretty bad, but only on the back.
