SNES Yellowing how to s top it or prevent it?

Well I have had my SNES since I was in kindergarden (I'm in 8th grade now) and I have to say that it has yellowed very *slightly*. I HAVE had it in the sun but not TOO much, normally its in a black box with tinted windows (my entertainment center) and I also *highly* doubt the air content has anything to do with it. I have bought 2 or 3 used games and they either have the front or back yellowed from what i am proposing is the direction which they were facing the sun. I think its just like fading, except its yellow instead of faded lol!

I don't think it has anything to do with sunlight. Because I have never seen one with like a blotch of yellowing. Its always parts of the SNES that are yellow, all the way around. Like just the battom part is yellow and thats all. Or just the top, or just the controller ports. At least thats all I have ever seen and I have seen a lot of Yellowed SNESs. It is very odd though. It must be somesort of mildue or mold or something though.

Mine is still grey and it's been around since 92/93.

It would be really nice if someone came up with a solution to prevent the yellowing. Perhaps coating the new console in a clear coat of ...*something*... would prevent air exposure and the eventual yellowing.

Clear Coats puts a sheen on the plastic that is decidedly undesireable.
