    Nice.

    I don't find the black objectionable at all on that- nay rather I find it provides some contrast to set off the devices. I say leave it be, but if you're insistent, I suppose you could try lemon juice or acetone? Dunno. I'd leave it as it was though, personally.

    I had totally overlooked the detail about the Aelius in the OP costing only 30 bucks. Nice grab! I'd be all over that one for thirty bucks!
