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.

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.
