Please look at eBay #6531901881. I think it is potmetal but my question is in regard to the Antique Bronze finish. I have a similar finish on an 8-35 tonearm. Has anyone any experience with this finish? Mine is almost black and it's pretty even over the tonearm and reproducer. Is this the way they were supposed to look when they were new? I don't see how the tonearm could have tarnished in such an even way. I really don't want to touch the finish with brass cleaner if that's the way the machine was supposed to look. Mine looks exactly like the finish on the tonearm and reproducer as in the one for sale on eBay. Thanks, Art Heller
