Thank you for all your information for proving fake.
And Thanks for yours prove the swiss made one is real.

My Final question I want to ask is:

These kind of rust can be solve?

That would need to be replated with nickle to look best, but you can clean the metal with rust remover and steel wool and it will look better.

A lot of these older machines used pot metal for tonearms and other metal parts, which has a tendency to swell and crack with age. Thankfully, reproduction parts can be had easily thanks to various collectors who make/sell reproduction parts and needles. A quick internet search can give you sites that sell these. I recommend Phonophan, ran by the well-known collector Tim Fabrizio, who also sells fully restored machines (although he only has 4 machines available at the moment).

This machine exhibits a problem I've seen in another Swiss machine and in a Pathé: some parts are made from either iron or steel plated with nickle. The biggest problem isn't the surface rust (which is just a cosmetic problem) but the screws that rust in place and can't be removed.
