I am happy to say that my family and I are safe and I was able to locate the majority of my lava lite collection,…Continue

This weekend I am going to look at "an entire shed full of vintage lava lamps and parts." From the pictures I've already seen there are 3 or 4 large totes filled to the top with bases, globes, caps, etc. I saw 3 or 4 icon bases, numerous psychedelic swirl bases and caps and quite a few midnight series bases and tops. The garage is also full of lamps. The woman's father was a collector and she wants it all gone! I will post pics of everything when I get it all sorted out hopefully I'll be…Continue

I'll take a whole motor / gearbox assembly if preference is not to separate. I'm based in the UK but happy to buy from abroad; please let me know what you have and cost.Thanks!Continue
