Seth I thought the Titanium on the top plate had to be done on a top
plate made of brass. The Zinc alloy top plate didn't work with the
Titanium process.
I think they also need the brass for a simple chrome or silver finish.
Only the normal black finish is zinc alloy.
But something tells me the black paint finish might be on brass just
cause Bill Rosauer likes brass.
I think I remember that.
