This was found in an old warehouse in West Texas, still boxed, very much yellowed. Finished product came out well.

It's primarily a CP/M machine but it also runs DOS 2.1. I' am kind of curious as to what type of games may have been played on this type of system.

Willy the Worm, maybe? Or Pitfall?

How did you get such a good retrobrighting on the case? No streaks as far as I can see! 😳 How did you protect the labels?

Yes, the case was too far yellowed for a retrobright treatment. Probably would have turned pink, and the surface was too smooth. I have only had retrobright success with haircell or other textured surfaces. This case required a vinyl dye treatment, in which I eventually decided on the shade "Wimbledon White." I used Frog Tape to protect the labels.
