I've read where you can fix a cymbal with epoxy:
You force Epoxy glue into the crack. You then hit the cymbal hard several times to vibrate the glue deep into the crack. You apply more Epoxy and hit it several times again. Wipe away the excess glue and bake the cymbal in a 200 degree oven for about an hour. This hardens the Epoxy into a glassy consistancy. Finally, let the cymbal cool naturally and don't play it for at least 24 hrs. It's suppose to work if you do it right.
Or - you can be like Charlie Watts and use it until it finally cracks so bad the sound chokes. Cracked cymbals make great effect cymbals too.
