[Amps] Cracked Chimney

KJ9D (SK) used to cut the top and bottom out of glass pickle jars.  Worked  
great.  Just a thought.

Subject: [Amps] Cracked Chimney


I have managed to put a crack in my chimney (SK-506 for 4-1000 etc).  The 
crack is such that I am afraid that even the pressure from the metal clips 
will cause a large piece of the glass to break off.

Has anyone had any luck either repairing such a crack or having a glass 
repair firm do it?  I have looked around for some such repair service, but 
have not had any luck.  I was hoping to find someone that repairs antique 
glass.  I would think that in the right hands the glass could be heated and 
re-joined?

As these chimneys are getting scarce I'd like to repair this one - but I'm 
probably looking at a cost equal or greater than what I can pay for a 
replacement.  Any thoughts?

Merry Christmas to all.
