Well i finally bought a Dreamcast. After numerous attempts with emulators i just gave up and decided to buy a console instead. Being prepared, i had bought some stuff to fight the aging yellowing that comes with console such as the Dreamcast, snes, gameboy and PlayStation. Surprisingly, the console i purchased showed very little yellowing which was good for me(less work). But i went ahead anyway to see if i can somewhat get that original color back.
Anyway here are some pictures of the color restoration process.
Console:
Here is the bare console.

The bottom half color was the original color when i bought the Dreamcast.
Controllers:
Picture showed controller to be much cleaner and white than it really was.

Again, picture doesn't do this any justice and the controller's color looks brand new.

Also, i had lubed the lens gears and rails to reduce noise. If you have ever owned a Dreamcast then you'll know what I'm talking about.
Lens flipped over, you can see where the gears and rails are. Dry like a desert.

Edit: Pictures are up and done. I will complete the bottom half of the console once i receive all my parts in to mod the dreamcast for HDD.
