Notice:
Unlike the brushed aluminum chassis used by modern product manufacturers - a process which dulls the finish so as to
hide the slight irregularities naturally occurring in the process of molded aluminum forms - we have elected to treat the
aluminum finish in a manner appropriate to the Machine Age era. All aluminum surfaces have undergone several polishing
stages to maintain a mirror-like finish, and then been anodized for durability and high gloss. This anodization process can
reveal subtle surface irregularities in the aluminum form which would be absent in a more muted finish, but we think the
payoff in overall character is worth it.
WE DO NOT REGARD THESE AS DEFECTS,
SO IF THIS FREAKS YOU OUT THEN THIS MAY NOT BE THE PRODUCT FOR YOU.
