"THERE IS NO LAQUER".
Tom, there was no laquer at the spot you tested! Did you test all the different spots on the Rounder? Granted, it's very hard to see what I think it COULD be laquer. I'm not saying it is, I'm thinking it might be. But we will come to that in due time.
Has it ever occured to you that maybe 70% of the laquer disappeared over time die to 'wear', cleaning or other factors? And that your testing hit spots in this 70% area? And that the electron beams went right thru that very thin coating, not picking it up? Something - so I was instructed during my session (Yes, I'm also a SEM 'specialist....) - is absolutely possible???
But no: "There is no laquer". Okay, just another 100% correct conclusion that does not need further investigation.
And for the record: The above pictures do not show the laquer, they do show the plating of the rim and it's polishing marks. The marks you called 'machining' and you said, only the Rounder had those, just for the record!
You can put the comparison together on your own: The first is the 935, the second picture is the Rounder. If there are no such marks on your Juncker, K&Q and S&L, I venture to say they have not been polished. But I think they have been and you just don't see it. And if you see it, you don't know what you are looking at.
I don't recall saying anywhere that the Rounder has "high quality" beading, but maybe I have and then I had my reasons to say so. So, please go ahead and post the pictures, and make your absolute statements again that NO OTHER RK on the face of the earth has this kind of beading. (which is true, by the way...) But be prepared to back it up...and to explain what you show us....
