turn them upside down and look for cracks

When I sold my deluxe I had 3 that were cracked without knowing.

5 for 200 is reasonable...any more and you are paying a lot.

Try cleaning with Ajax or Jiff. Don't laugh...it cleans chrome very well!!! 8)

Once you have gotten most of the gunk off you can use Autosol on them and they will look like new :)..

It comes in a tube and you can get it from most auto shops.

The problem is you need lots of elbow greese and you end up with sore fingers. Well I do anyway.. But the result is outstanding :)..
