<p>I have thought about it. It wont be the same like it was with Dale. Originally things started off as a big Q and A session between me and Dale, and then that turned into a bit of a friendship. The friendship is why things worked out so well between us and I was able to bring news, as well as give him my thoughts on his ideas. I honestly don't think the same thing will be possible with someone else, but I am willing to reach out to him. I do have his email so I guess I will see what I can…</p>

I think we are all wondering if and when the first lamps will be coming off the U.S. production line.</p>

<p>The lamp looks awesome. My experience with the older 60s and 70s lamps is about the same as yours. Once they are dead they usually stay dead. The globes are excellent for refills because the screw caps look better than the newer caps.<br></br> <br></br> <cite>Erin said:…</cite></p>

I use converters on my smart, yellow fluidium, and several astros. They work well. I rewired my other fluidiums but the converters work well. <br></br>
