I seem to remember that at least some RK05 packs have a piece of foam inside the

As Allison taught me, the oxide surface on
platters / drums is just a form of inactive RUST.. and therefore, unaffected
by water (no, the water doesn't cause it to start rusting further).
The interface between the aluminum platter and the steel sector ring
would be a really bad thing to get water into.
