Tried to remove the yellowing of a TO8 and one of my Atari 1040STFM.
I used a german mould remover called Mellerud Schimmelentferner Aktivgel. This is the version with hydrogen peroxide.
TO8 before:
The TO8 after:
The 1040STFM: I replaced the normal floppy drive with a gotek usb drive (and the hxc firmware) and it works like a charm.
The mould removal was more difficult here, 'cause the original Atari cases are grey and the composition of the plastic is much different.

I only sprayed the cases once so that everything is covered well. After this i placed the cases in the sun for a couple of hours (the TO8 about 5 hours) and washed off the remaining fluid.
@Daniel: Thanks for posting the link ...
