A-K chassis is heavily nickle plated steel.
Sometimes the plating is porous and there will be rust. In other examples the plating can be polished to a high luster. I once did a chassis up restore of an A-K 55, because of a filter cap meltdown, wax everywhere. Came out really shiny, close rival to a Scott. The chassis was for an A-K Kiel table, so clearly a showpiece.
