Hi Chris,
I think your experiment was a valid thing to do, but I'm glad that I went ahead and emailed Kevin at Valab about the post so he could address the issue. At least we now *might* know what the actual design is. From what I've gathered, the base metal is brass with a copper plating, then a nickel plating is applied to function as a substrate for a final plating of rhodium, which is porous enough to allow the hydrochloric acid to react with the nickel substrate underneath the rhodium plating. Perhaps Valab will confirm this or not. At least I again feel good about Valab's AC gear, and my apologies to Kevin (and Taiwan) for my harsh words. China still pisses me off, though :-D
Cheers, Duster
