MASSIVE FIBER OPTIC SCORE ON EBAY!!

<p>Just got my lamp the other day, a beaut! Just wanted to ask, is it confirmed the variable speed the motor exhibits occasionally intended? Mine will rotate normal, speed up once and a while and then sometimes seem to slow down. To those that lubed their assembly, what is the best lubricant (I have sewing machine oil and white lithium grease)? What are the best lubrication points to note? Thank you all!</p>

<p>SO happy to have seen this thread! I ordered a few days ago and got mine today too! Joe, I will let Cindy know you sent me in the feedback section. The box looks new. Loved her little comment tip card she put in the box too! The brightness and color saturation at the end of each fiber is amazing. I did see a little static on the low fibers clinging, wrapping around base as spin but I lifted up the spray turned upside down, and shook it gently and swirled for several seconds.

I did see a little static on the low fibers clinging, wrapping around base as spin but I lifted up the spray turned upside down, and shook it gently and swirled for several seconds. That seemed to fix it after operating 30 minutes I don't see any more static. I had a Taiwan UFO lamp with these types of fibers from around mid 90s this takes me back to being 16 again (no worries in life LOL). This is much bigger and rotates beautifully. What a great value it has, I will enjoy this for many years.</p> Hey, I am glad to hear you pi…tag:oozinggoo.ning.com,2020-02-23:1566398:Comment:7074352020-02-23T01:21:01.516Zjmpenny32https://oozinggoo.ning.com/profile/jmpenny32
<p>Hey, I am glad to hear you picked one of these up, they are at an amazing price!! I personally picked up two. First I would like to say these were sold at a store called The Earth Store, that store ended up going out of business, I also heard these were sold at Spencer gifts.

<p>Hey, I am glad to hear you picked one of these up, they are at an amazing price!! I personally picked up two. First I would like to say these were sold at a store called The Earth Store, that store ended up going out of business, I also heard these were sold at Spencer gifts. The company that made these apparently sold off their remaining stock to a buyer some twenty years ago and were discovered in a abandoned storage facility. Cindy and her husband do a lot of mass purchases and were shocked when they came across this find. She is familiar with the Fantasia lamps and can appreciate the true beauty and mesmerizing effect these fiber optic lamps have. <br/> <br/> <cite>The Lamp Caretaker said:</cite></p>

I received two matching lamps and the fibers are both fine. Long enough that they nearly touch the surface when the lamp spins. When you click the lamp on it goes clockwise until you turn off and when you turn it back on it spins the opposite direction. Yes- the lamps does speed up for a couple of seconds and resumes normal rotation as part of it's charm. The lamp does this is to create a firework finale effect when the lamps rotating. I took the time to separate most of the fibers which took a little time but well worth the effort. These lamps have a lot of ultra thin fibers so treat them gently but know they do not break like the vintage glass fibers. If I see a couple of fibers together I gently run my fingers through them so they separate and the more I do this the more the lamp ROCKS. I'm very pleased with my purchases. The color wheel as mentioned prior is fantastic. It's clear that it was made to celebrate the year 2000. I'm guessing this is why you only saw them available in 1999 until the New Year 2000. A true collectible for any fiber optic lamp collector. I'm wondering if the Seller purchased a whole palette of them or something and would love to hear the back story of how she attained so many. I'm guessing they did not have enough time to get them to market before the new millennium rang in and by the time they did it was too late and only a few sold before they were pulled from shelves to welcome new 2001 merchandise. </p>

<p>I am so happy you decided to pick one up, I picked up two and may pick up more while she still has them. The price is perfect on these!! Definitely is more impressive in person than in the photos, give it time and the fibers will calm down after being on display, you may need to seperate and help some of them out as these have been in storage for over 20 years!!</p>

<p>There are plastic sprays with plastic bases. But the spray diameter is almost like glass sprays, they do conduct light well and have great movement unlike, the larger diameter fibers we are used to seeing on the crap out and for the past few years. Very worth buying if still available!</p>
