I have a '41 B6 that is immaculate; yet I see so many that are pitted badly. What causes this? How can I avoid this happening to my pup later in its life when my kids inherit my instrument?

| Is that not caused by the acid in the players' skin or bodily oils? |

| Having the magnets re-chromed is the only way I know of, but they have to be smoothed first, and de-magnetized before chroming, and of course re-magnetized after chrome plating. I haven't seen any with pits, just some with the chrome peeled partially off. |
