From my limited experience with vintage DSN BP’s it seems as though the acrylic crystals are prone to cracking. I have a DSN LIP BP that developed a crack on the side of the crystal from about 1-3 o’clock. Wasn’t sure it was through and through so pressure tested to 6 atm. Got bubbles coming from the edge near the crack which indicated that water resistance was compromised.
Does anyone know where crystals might be found? Possibly a better quality acrylic than the stock crystal? Any help appreciated.
