I too have read about the flame retarding chemicals in plastic going browny yellow. Does anyone know if the green area at the front edge of the screen should be tan in colour? Mine is green and it looks OK.

I suspect it's the camera and lighting. All the Predicta CRT cases I've seen in person (including four Tandems) are pretty much the same color. You mean the border around the picture tube ? It's definitely greenish
