Heck, *I* want to try Retr0bright on my Beeb, just I've been too lazy to 
go down to Sainsbury's for the stuff...

Actually, last time I checked, the permanent-marker labelling was stuck 
in the plastic *really* well. I suspect R0 might just make it stand out 
like a sore thumb.

Just for my idle interest, what colour were the Beeb cases when they 
originally rolled off the production line at Acorn? White, or some kind 
of creamy off-white colour?

My Master 128 currently looks like it's spent 30 years in the house of a 
chain-smoker. It's obviously not tobacco staining (once seen, you never 
forget the sticky feel of nicotine-coated plastic -- or the smell), but 
even the inside looks quite yellow...
