Do you have any really bad examples of yellowing you're willing to part with? Just the case, ideally, or parts. e.g. a IIe lid.

My skin turned yellow after handling all these chemicals. Does that count?

I have a //c that is yellowed beyond believe, but I'd like to have it back.

I think I still have a IIe case that is in horribly yellowed condition. I'll try to dig it out and confirm that it has miraculously cured itself. The keyboard is missing quite a few keys and the case in general is poor; I purchased it for the mainboard, so I could actually pass along the remainder.
