Remembering back to when my original S-85, which has the 
same basic knobs, was new, the rings were satin, not bright 
chrome.

    That's my memory of my once-new S-38B. Well, I will try 
this thing when I get it. It can't look worse than the 
oxidized surface there now. Perhaps brushing the nickel 
plate will come close to duplicating the original finish.
