Outside of the pins there's quite a few places where there are strange faded swirls in the plating as well. The area where the O-ring is seated is pretty bad too.

Anyways, this is just for a time-frame reference, I bought my block November 21st 2010.

just a question: did you notice some nickel floating in your reservoir?

is saying that he got some nickel in his loop... So i was just wondering if the reservoir is clear and the water is clear, does it mean that the blocks are safe?
