tk got mad and put kader in the sky.
I swear the last two sets of f4’s I’ve gotten have been noticably whiter than they used to be.

Nah, it's gotta be the natural color of the urethane formula they developed.

I remember it not being much smaller than the NES.

didn't think that it might also affect hardness.

So a trick I do a lot is 5050 front board but I wonder if the lock ins would make that tough.Like twould be so locked in, when I turn, the board wouldn't turn like I want?Does anyone know if that would in face be the case If I got lock ins?
The reason SNES turned brown like that is because of the bromine in the chemical mixture of the plastic for the case being too high on certain batches. Bromine in that usage is a flame retardant and is added to hot running plastic stuff to lower the chance that it could catch fire. I remembered there was a really specific reason why a lot of them turned brown but I had to look it up again for this post. Dork facts out.
