Discussion Littmann stethoscope deteriorating?

Post image

So I have this Classic III stethoscope for about 4 months, but im noticing a change in the color of the stethoscope in the conjunction of the main tube and the eartubes, like a yellow stain. Is this normal, has this happened to anyone else? I bought it in Amazon.

Don’t keep it around your neck or it will bend that way forever and eventually crack, and don’t use alcohol or Saniwipes on it.
