New R13 plating flaking

Author: bmcgar ★2017

One of my students bought a new R13 about four months ago. Within two months, the nickel plating started flaking off. The dealer (one of the larger ones in the area--near SW VA) contacted the Buffet rep., and the message was, in essence, "take a hike."

I'm satisfied that the dealer did all it could to fix this, short of raising hell with the rep.

My student's parents will probably be trying to get in touch with the rep. when they get the contact information, but in the meantime, does anyone have any suggestions for a more-aggressive way to deal with this? (My sense is that the rep. is the problem, not Buffet.)

Also, does anyone else know if plating has been a problem with recent Buffet instruments?

Danke.

Bruce M.
