vpi jmw tonarm rust yes rust

I just love the fact that my new vpi scout's tonearm is starting to rust. I thought it was aluminum. Either way this is rediculous for a product with it's reputation. If I had a digital camera I'd post some pics.

I guess they say iron rusts and aluminum oxidizes. It's all the same to me.

Toddwi, yes in a high humidity environment low grade# s.s.
will surfice rust, and aluminum will oxidize. Just like in a moderate to low humidity environment low grade# s.s. will not get surfice rust and aluminum, if it does oxidize might take many years.

We'll I've got my dehumidifier going, turned out it was about 75% in my listing room. I guess that's what did it.
