I bought an ex-development A540 from an ex-Acorn employee, he was a
heavy
smoker and worked in a window seat - needless to say the machine was
totally
yellow. I used <http://www.thepolishingcompany.com/303productrange.html>
303
Aerospace Protectorant to remove the yellowing. I had to rub it in and
leave
it for 24 hours, then wash it off. Did a good job, but I haven't tried
it on
a Beeb.

I call those Beebs "Rhubarb and Custards" - or Electrons/Atoms
"Pustules"...

A friend sprayed his is psychedelic colours, she went into Halfords and
bought all the brightest colours she could find. The Beeb was a sight to
behold! The advice above will do the trick, just make sure you pick a
good
freaky set of colours.

Far out man...
