Re: Restoring Apple IIs, others...

[mdickins@brightok.net (md)]

This technique has been used for many years to retore the color in
antique vintage black hard rubber fountain pens from the 1910,s and
1920,s.  However, it has a tendancy to etch the surface and change the
original texture of the plastic.  For this reason experienced
collectors will not buy pens after this treatment has been applied. 

 I don't know if this would occur with an apple case or not.
