Reducing humidity in the area where the equipment is
located will help tremendously as well.

: From following discussions in other groups, it seems
: that the case yellowing is caused by chemical changes
: taking place within the plastic.  These changes are

Of course urinating on it doesn't do it much good.  :o)

: Change is inevitable, except from vending machines!

That's provided you can get the damned things to take
