[Public-List] Alberg 30 boom gooseneck

[Glenn Brooks via Public-List]

Kind of looks like a stress crack, maybe from an accidental jyb.  I'll bet someone can weld it, if you can find a good aluminum shop close by.  It would need to be cleaned up real well and likely ground out to remove the old weathered edges, but could be done I bet.
