Greetings, Does anyone here have experience recreating the brownish-black finish found on the Edison Opera and Amberola 1B mandrel? It appears to be a chemical finish on the brass surface as opposed to a plated finish. I'd be most grateful to talk to someone who has first-hand experience or can refer me to the right person.
