As far as cleaning goes, here is a snippet I saved from another e'list that I frequent:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue Jul 5 10:19:12 EDT 2005 Subject: The Yellow is Out! (pictures!) Thanks to all the replies to my previous question. Here are pictures of my Duo-R pad and Duo-R before and after the bleaching process. I do have one question though; is the pad supposed to be that much whiter than the actual system, or should I give the Duo-R another round of cleaning? I'm just curious, it seemed odd to have the controller that came with it a different color. Here's the process I used, you can do this or your own variation of it. You'll need some Comet or Clorox gel all-purpose cleaner, a large bottle of bleach and a toothbrush or two (medium bristle for scrubbing). The Duo is a very nice system to take apart, everything is fairly simple and friendly unlike the hell that is taking apart a PS2. Everything on the CD lid can be taken apart so you're left with just the plastic and the small plastic piece over the CD drive and lens also removes very easily. The first step is using the gel and toothbrush to scrub the system down. This should get most of the color out and loosen up the deep-in surface color. You can be as gentle or rough as you want, just be careful as you could mark the surface lightly. If you want to apply major elbow-grease perhaps a sponge would be better. After you're satisfied with the scrubbing, place the shell in a cake pan (you'll probably have to do each half separately) and fill to the top with bleach. I can't say how long to leave it in, but I left each piece in for 16-24 hours before removing. Once you remove, rinse thoroughly with cold water, towel dry what you can and leave it to dry for an hour or so. You may use a hair dryer to speed up drying, and you'll need to make sure there isn't any bleach or water left in the corners or screw holes. Piece it back together and you're done! Now, this is what I did. Both steps may not be necessary. If anybody wants to try soaking in bleach alone (to avoid scrubbing the system) let me know how well it comes out. Take before and after pictures if you can!

There is nothing with it, no manuals, cables, no PSU etc, so please getting digging and see if you can find me a PSU - quote please. I can see on US eBay there are two different model of IIc PSU. I'm not sure which LCD unit I have, backlit or original, but it's model # A2M4022, Serial # L4C6148 and the IIc is is a A2S4000, Serial # D460Z28. The case is in need of a good clean, any advice on this will be welcome, as will a guide to what else I need for happy a life of IIc-ing! I already have a lot of IIe software that I run on a IIe emulator card, and also an Imagewriter II and an Apple 4/600LS, so have a bit of a start.
