    I did some trading for this 319 Arc this past spring. It had about 9 stress cracks, which were silver soldered. The interior of the tank was cleaned and then treated with Caswell tank sealer. Last step was the nickel plating. It received a new Fred Kuntz mica globe and also a new arc generator made by Dean Williams of Idaho. It runs very nicely now and will attend many gatherings for many years!!!

    Well-fettled and congratulation with a stunning lamp. :thumbup: When getting a lamp like this then it must be a difficult both decision and to carry out filling sealer in the tank. I alway tremble when I have to do something like that.
    But it seems to be a bulletproof result of all your efforts. :thumbup:

    Now these are truly rare. I think I have seen only one for real and maybe six with collectors. That is a superb find and after fetting in such good shape. ::Neil::
