Gunplummer, at the Fest he was talking about the fact you can't braze pot metal - so you're on the same page there. He was going to take it home and put a magnet to it and hopefully come back here and let us know what happened. The other one I saw looked extremely similar to the one Lightfoot has pictured. I remember when I reached in to turn it the rotor felt pretty lightweight.
There may very well have been both cast steel and pot metal rotors popping up in trial runs during those first couple of years. We just need to get evidence in hand regarding them, which is why I started this thread.
