Susan, Im sorry you had such a bad time! I have bought numerous underwater items on Ebay and never had a problem. Im assuming you have Ebay involved in the mediation...they will help you.

Ah well - now he says he doesn't care about my one piddly negative comment. He won't refund the money until I ship it to him, and I won't ship it back to him so that he can sell it again.

Hi Susan, could you post the web page address for refurbishing a housing, just for future reference? Thanks.... Denise

I suspect the 'Sony' he might have talked to was a Sony service rep. 'Stainless steel' doesn't rust like iron but it does rust; 'Stainless' was originally just a hype word, for want of a better term, not a technical definition. I doubt 'Sony' would say it 'wouldn't' rust. Sea water will corrode almost any metal but gold.

I think the rust remover you are thinking of is "Naval Jelly". I don't know how/if it would work on small ss springs. When I was a kid my father would use it on my swing-set every couple of years before painting.

Ah, yes, Naval Jelly. That name even sounds better than mine. 'Brass' in the name for a rust remover didn't sound right. Worth a try on the springs. :–)

Thanks, everyone. That naval jelly stuff sounds good - my housing (not the ebay one) has a tiny bit of rust on one of the controls (I guess I didn't freshwater dunk it long enough at least once, too) and with this, and the info on servicing it (and with a camera-less test in water afterwards), I may be able to continue to use my camera for a few more dive trips.
