Yellowed Consoles and Collection

Hard to say, My PS1, Super Nintendo and Dreamcast aren't yellowed but a small part of the PS1 controller aswell as a 3rd party controller for the Gamecube have a few parts that are yellowed. When I don't use them they aren't directly in sunlight, It might depend if the hardware in question is known to yellow fairly quick.

D looks the best

I legitimately thought the yellow was their natural color. I had no idea they were snowy white originally.

What did he mean by this?

In some cases, I don't think it matters where you store them. My SNES that I got back in the day still looks nice and gray. On the other hand, the mouse that came with it has yellowed quite a bit. I don't know if it is from hand oils or what, but the mouse was always put away when not in use while the SNES has sat out in the open for years at a time.

It may depend on what was on your hands besides oils as well. For instance, my GameCube WaveBird stick is a slight dingy yellow because as a kid I had Cheetos and whatever else on my hands but the other wired controllers which I didn't use don't have the issue.

Not all SNES units are susceptible to yellowing. It all depends if it was part of the "batches" which got the cheapo fire retardant added to them. My own SNES demonstrates this perfectly, where the upper shell yellowed but the bottom is still its original gray.

I have 3 SNES'

My original from childhood, only the controller ports yellowed.

Second one only the bottom is yellowed.

Third one only the top is yellowed.

A yellowed famicom is pure kino.

My SNES is the only system I have that's white, and that's pretty much been in a box of some sort since the mid 2000s until recently. There is no yellowing.

To add, just put a dishrag over the consoles you feel you have to keep out. It keeps dust any any sunlight out easily for uber cheap.

You should match up all the parts. Then you'll have one super rare gold edition and two normal ones.

Are you actually dumb or just memeing? I can no longer tell at this point. The percentages are the number of Famicoms that exist at that particular shade (i.e 20% of all Famicoms look like B and another 20% look like D.)

>>3770939
This. White ones must be pretty rare.

>>3770212
Absolutely. Everything is in boxes or cabinets with doors. Keeps the dust off as well.

Yellowing never really bothered me, seems unavoidable

me too, I sort of like the yellow looking ones as compared to the factory white.

he could have thought of the intensity of the sun damage I mean I did so too. Having a to c be least to greatest in both image and numbers would imply. If the thread was about that it could have been more obvious or at least the filename.
