I was going to ask if that coating was common to all the machines; I have memories of opening a 512k with my dad and seeing a more plastic-like interior.

I had a fear of that happening myself; namely, that the metallic spray inside the case might be adversely affected by the H202 during deyellowing. But in my case, the reason I ult…
