[Jukebox-list] Wurlitzer 800

[mike]

There has been great information posted previous regarding this process and 
the unique composition of these plastics.

As has been discussed previous, the large upper and lower W800 pilasters 
respond very well to soaking in bleach. No scrubbing, sanding, or abrasives 
necessary. They will leave them an ivory to a cream colored white with 
absolutely no degradation to the surface finish. They will yellow again 
naturally.

The above method is less affective on the red or green marbled catlins but 
is nothing short of miraculous on the large white pilasters on the W800.
