Ok, you hardcore patina dudes are going to whig out. :D
I cleaned my cymbals for the first time ever!!
Let me say again, I l cleaned them, not polished them.
Guess what I saw after cleaning a super dirty one?!?
A super tiny crack on the edge. Should have left the cymbals dirty! Hurting
So now I'm wondering what you guys think about vintage cymbals and
tiny cracks, I'm talkin' this crack is no more than 3/16'' and doesn't even
really go all the way through. I guess it can get worse, but it's a 70's stamp
and I don't know how long it's even been cracked like this. It's not
the cymbal I listed in the my other thread btw.
I did list it locally here in Portland on CL for $200 simply because
of the weight, it's 1900 grams, medium thin class.
Let me know if I'm dreaming on this one, but really I'm checking with
other cymbal gurus what the thoughts are on cracked cymbals.
Thanks :)
Eric
