Ok - Totally agree that cracked cymbals are not ideal - but consider that this pair is an example of THE best, gold standard of all HHs.
If I needed another pair or just had $40 to burn, I would snag these up in a heartbeat. Repair the cracks and play these suckers - they MUST sound pretty decent even with cracks/repairs.
Also, they appear to be either 50s or 60s, early/mid 70s at least.
