Mark replied to Elias's discussion Crestworth Astro Mini no flow and other problems."Yea, I'm very pleased with it!
Just needs a polish up now.

Elias joined Modulo '70's group
Night of the Hunter
This is a group for those who have an interest in the so-called Hunter lava lamps named after their founder, Mr John Edward Hunter who attempted a patent on his Sata-Lite model in c. 1970. Later version was called the Sparkle-Lite using glittery strands in the liquid. They came in various designs but more or less one size and with only one bottle type but numerous colour combos in both wax and sparkly strands to glitter.

Mr MaGoo replied to Elias's discussion Crestworth Astro Mini no flow and other problems."But the lamp is moving now, right. The rest can be tweaked if need be, important thing is "IT'S ALIVE!""
Elias replied to Elias's discussion Crestworth Astro Mini no flow and other problems."Doesn't really look the way it does on the picture. The wax is pure bright red. Brightness overpowers most of the reflections u usually get on the wax. liquid lost almost all colour."
