Just a heads up that if you own a set of FR125s and live near the ocean, the phase plug isn't coated and will corrode in an unsightly fashion due to the salt air if you don't coat it with something. It's too late for mine!

Not to worry... in time it will have a loverly patina🙂
otherwise you could be polishing and recoating anyways

This was my thought as well. Maybe find time-lapse pictures of the statue of liberty when it was newish?
I assume it's the first stages. Like when copper pipes dull. My other thought was that there is in fact a coating, and the oxidisation is happening under that.
It's definitely from the salt air, it only started when I moved down here and the black coated fasteners from Vikash are also exhibiting rust.
