Ok thanks for the input, I'll get to cleaning the coil as soon as I have time. I'm not too nervous about opening a 90s lamp, the worst they have is perc, no carbon tetrachloride, right?

<p>I always cap mine when they are warm, but not blazing hot. I aim for "neutral" to be normal running temperature. That way you don't have to worry about globes imploding if they get too cold, also.</p>

It should be fine but if it's a twist just let it get hot then twist it on so it's capped at its maximum expansion and potential pressure.

Is it a screw top or bottle cap? I like to cap them hot, just for peace of mind. That way when the lamp is fully warmed up and all the wax/liquid has done its expansion, there will be neutral or no pressure in the globe. If you cap or cold, when it heats up it'll create some pressure. However I dont think it matters a whole lot as some of the LL lamps are capped cold. I think a well crimped bottle cap will hold the pressure anyways
