[Public-List] Alberg 30 boom gooseneck

[Glenn via Public-List]

A pic would be great. One wAy to evaluate is to look closely at the crack and see of you can identify corrosion or fresh metal- often an indicator how long the defect has been present., or if it has been expanding.    Even use a magnifying glass - eye piece from binoculars turned around works well.
