"You won’t need to soak it in anything, the tea towel method will get it all off in 2-5 mins with no mess, all in one big inverted piece. "
"That might have been me replying before. I've found an even easier way since then too.
Just cut into the film at the neck of the bottle, pull some film away then just rub against the exposed cut in the film with a tea towel or something…"
" I've faded some to clear before by just leaving the bottle out in the sun, the liquid stayed clear.
They should really bring back the yellow/turquoise too, great colour. "
"I was thinking the same, used to be a guy called Mick I believe who made all the bottles, maybe he left and took all the knowledge with him :-D. I don’t think they validate much to be honest given the chrome iO and smart Astro in particular…"

I've been to the factory a couple of times, it’s quite an armature operation so sadly not too…"

Telstar legs off center
"They changed it a couple of years ago, now the legs arnt evenly spaced anymore. Really bad change in my opinion, makes the whole thing look wonky. Probably the only reason is it fits in the box better."
"Thanks for the replies. These are all less than a year old with the exception of the black/copper, some never had the bulb changed I tried everything but the entire fitting is loose in the base so not enough leverage. Even got other people to try to…"
"The only thing I can imagine is that whenever you turn the lamp on/off there is a small spark at the pins of the bulb and over time it becomes sort of a welded spot. I've had switches do that. I would try lubrication like wd40 spray and stay…"
GU10 Mathmos Telstar - Stuck Bulb
Hi AllAll of my GU10 Telstars have stuck bulbs, has anyone else had this issue? I've tried litrally everything. Sometimes they get stuck stright away, sometimes I can change the bulb once or twice before thet get stuck in the base. I've seen a couple of reviews on Amazon saying the same so I guess it happens but all of mine are useless at the moment :(. Thanks for any help! See More
