    My late dad's slim adjustable is down at Stan's for the restoration and rhodium plating treatment, I can't wait to get it back.

    Hi Guys,

    The images below show a newly Nickel plated Slim (Right and Top) and a Rhodium plated Slim (Left and Bottom) - the difference in an image is pretty subtle but the Rhodium has a whiter (more like Silver) sheen to it. Whereas new Nickel is more grey if that makes sense, hopefully you can see the difference.

    The Rhodium looks stunning in reality though.
