Fastest way to get Astro/Astro Baby flowing US
Started by i0nz in Problems & Questions. Last reply by i0nz 8 hours ago. 8 Replies 0 Likes
I just received the two Mathmos lamps below and I'd like to get them flowing today. I live in Salt Lake City, UT and was curious if anybody knew of a store which would likely have the necessary converter needed? I've searched a bit online but I'm not seeing anything available nearby and it appears that the soonest I could receive the $30 converter off of Amazon would be Monday. All of the bases have 3 prong plugs.Any tips or pointers are greatly appreciated. …Continue

I have a pink and a green of the Heritage Grandes. I have a clear yellow Grande globe I display with the two Heritages. My OCD would like the bases to match. I would buy a complete Heritage Grande or just the base if anybody is looking to purge :)Continue

I WILL BE NOTIFYING THE MODS OF THIS JUST IN CASE THEY WANT TO ALSO POST A WARNING UP!!!P.S. The weird thing is he goes through social…Continue
WTB century base

Hi fellow lava heads!Been lurking here for a while as I built my collection up, but finally needed to post as I'm looking for a part. I recently picked up a slightly pre-90's (I think) century off of craigslist. It's in good shape overall, and looks good from the outside. But the base, specifically the bottom plate that's steel, is rusted badly. It doesn't effect the function of the lamp, for now, but it might eventually given that the bulb mounts to the rusted plate and might fail at some…Continue

I live in the United States and bought my Mathmos Lave Lamp from a re-seller on eBay, as Mathmos UK will not sell their products including replacement bulbs to anyone outside the UK.

The description from the Mathmos UK site is: "35W - Astro Lava lam- - Screw fitting halogen bulb - Replacement 35W e14 SES screw fitting bulb for Astro lava…Continue

20 y.o. Grande Ain't What it Used to Be...
Started by D. Carney in Problems & Questions. Last reply by D. Carney Nov 26. 6 Replies 1 Like
Hi all!I joined this forum after researching what to do about my 20 year old Grande just not performing like it used to.It's red wax/clear liquid. The liquid has taken on a little of the red (still clear though) and the wax just doesn't flow like it used to. It sends up small blobs, but the big blobs no longer appear.I've tried relocating, new/different bulbs to no avail.I just got a new Grande (red/yellow) and that one performs normally in the same spot.I'm looking at the Goo Kits at…Continue
