    Recently found this at a garage sale.
    Has anyone seen as many and as severe a case of stress cracks, owner said it would polish up and work with a little work.
    I bought it for parts and to prevent an amateur injuring them selves. I have not seen a cracked Kayen till now.

    Hi Graham and gratz :thumbup: I dont have any Kayens yet - rare lamp in Danmark.
    To me it is a weird place for cracks to show, I would "like" to see them in areas where the metal have been worked on much more [-o<

    Hi Graham, I have seen a Bialaddin 300X with worse cracks than that :!: Sometimes it just happens that the post-working annealing did not happen :doh: , so all the stresses come out later :thumbdown: . Best regards - Steve.

    I have seen Tilleys which were made during WW2., suffer from the same type of stress cracks, Jeff.

    Its, such a good deed you did by buying that lamp as you
    looked ahead and diverted the use of a simple mind ' who may
    not have had any idea of they would have brought .
