Gold plated copper???

FYI...
I bet if you file a notch in one of your gold plated copper connectors you will likely find that the base metal is NOT copper. Most of the connectors (of all types) floating around Ebay are from China. I've found that most all of them, no matter what they list the base metal to be, are some kind of silvery/white mystery metal. Looks a lot like pot metal.
Gold plating hides a lot of "sins".
The steel Pamona pieces are probably better!
