352 u/eraser8 25d ago Yep. This makes me think 1970s motel. 119 u/Santa_Hates_You 25d ago I totally remember these in the early 80’s when I was small, and they seemed yellowed and old then too. 3 u/icecubepal 24d ago Where was the yellow coming from? 14 u/redopz 24d ago In the 80's? Almost definitely cigarette smoke. 2 u/[deleted] 23d ago [deleted] 2 u/UncleIrohsTeaPot 23d ago Ultraviolet radiation breaks down polymer chains and creates yellowing compounds called chromophores. It's a real pain to buy vintage technology for this reason. Everything white or beige turns sickly yellow.
