Sentrex replied to Matt's discussion 1995 Elek-Trick Green 32oz Lamp for sale"The globe is fairly common and I have bought brand new never opened ElekTricks for $50

Critter replied to Sentrex's discussion Grande Base for Giant Biottle?"Oh wait, hold it. I am responding to you assuming you bought just a Giant bottle....empty and are refilling.

Critter replied to Sentrex's discussion Grande Base for Giant Biottle?"Chow is correct about that bulb height spec.

Chow replied to Sentrex's discussion Grande Base for Giant Biottle?"They do look very similar but the bulb sits higher or lower depending on which base you have. "
Critter replied to Sentrex's discussion Grande Base for Giant Biottle?"Yes. The base will fit, It is the same bottle. The bases are the same size and finish too and are almost indistinguishable from each other. "

Modulo '70 replied to Sentrex's discussion My New Rocket!!"Yes, that is the one, c. 1993, one of the last Crestworths, the bullet shaped chrome Rocket (perhaps they should have called it the bullet). A magnificent high quality and very sought after lamp 25 years later."
