Anybody know the best way to restore a compact Mac case to it's original, un-dingy color? You know, where the case has become discolored over time and has kind of a dirty yellow look to it? What cleaning products or procedures have worked best for you? Also, what's the best way to "gently" polish over a scratch in the B/W monitor glass? I am dealing with an SE/30 I received recently, and it has suffered it's share of abuse, and it needs a lot of cleanup TLC. The floppy is acting like it won't read or write. When a blank disk is inserted, it of course wants to initialize it, so I say Yes. After it does it, it verifies and then says Initialization Failed! Tried this with 3 or 4 floppies, they are good in other compact macs. Have I just got a cruddy drive maybe? I planned on getting it out and very gently cleaning the heads, what should I use, H20, alcohol, etc? The floppy has probably been heavily used over the years in a classroom. It has the original 40mb HD and 5mb RAM, so I have plenty of work to do for expansion yet. But there is quite a bit of software on it as well. I love the screensaver, "Dark Side of the Mac", played with it for a long time. Anyways, I need a few ideas on these problems. Thanks all!
