I partially removed the brass plating from a coif I thought would get really clean in one of these...it did, REAL clean down to the mild steel! :o
Sorry about your mishap though! :(

I took a quick look and didn't see it for sale / pricing, but I'm afraid to ask. :)
On a happy note, the mixer at harbor freight is on sale, and I have a gift card for part of the amount ... and harbor freight is in woodbridge, which I'll be passing through on the way to VARF ... huzzah! Fingers crossed.
Sir Ulrich:
Damn, that looks like it sucks. You could always try a magnet test as stainless is not magnetic but thats really odd that they used mild steel rivets for a stainless maille. Looks like when I need to clean my maille I'm gonna have to use a cement mixer too... Buying one of those would be a pain though. Would be nice if we could all pitch in and buy one for the order exclusively just to clean our maille that we can all use so we wont have problems like this again.
Sir Edward:
I need to read some more about magnetism. Stainless is still mostly Iron, which is one of the magnetic metals. It's just that stainless is an alloy with higher amounts of chromium. So how that disrupts magnetism is beyond me. Reading is in order.
Edit: Nice short answer here: http://www.physlink.com/education/askexperts/ae546.cfm
Apparently some stainless steels are still magnetic, so it's not a 100% accurate test.
Joshua Santana:
Interesting, yet Stainless Steel is still Steel due to its molecular structure.
Since I am getting mail sleeves (in the future) it won't be a problem finding the right soak to clean out the mail.
