Yes, that is my fear. The original iron platter is pretty inert, certainly compared to the alloy one, and I have heard suggestions that brass, stainless steel etc do ring like a dinner gong (as one would expect). It is the reason Swissonor stuck with a variation on the original cast iron when doing their very expensive replacement, they just didn’t think the dipped finishing through properly with the original black ones and ended up with some obvious ‘ripples’ on the idler track, which was a shame as it was otherwise a good and nicely made product. I notice they seem to be unpainted these days, so I guess I wasn’t the only one to flag that issue.
