Product Note: Unlike the brushed aluminum chassis used by modern product manufacturers - a process which dulls the finish to hide the slight irregularities naturally occurring in the process of molded aluminum forms - we have elected to treat the aluminum finish in a manner appropriate to the Machine Age era. All aluminum surfaces have undergone several polishing stages to maintain a mirror-like finish and have then been anodized for durability and high gloss. This anodization process can reveal subtle surface irregularities in the aluminum form which would be absent in a more muted finish, but we do not regard these as defects and think the payoff in overall character is worth it.
