  Bad assumption, the TB3s don't rust EXCEPT the set screw which holds 
  the ball bearings.  


I disagree. I have one sitting about 2 feet from me that shows some (not a lot) of rust.  The inner bore of the bearing is evenly rusted all the way around, top to bottom.  It also has a cracked upper race ( I don't know how it happened - it was on a top-section I bought).
