Crestworth Rocket/Princess owners, I'm looking for your help! I'm in the states and have wanted an Imperial for a long time, but they are nearly impossible to find and likely far out of my budget if…Continue

ISO/Looking for a replacement 32oz screw top/cap

Hello Everyone! I picked up this lamp a while ago in a lot, it's a 1986 32oz red globe, but the top is like busted out. It also has a great slow flow. So if you happen to have a spare kicking…Continue

"Hello, I am interesting chatting about one of the Colossus lava lamps. My personal email is silas1128@gmail.com. I'm not too far from you, about a 5 hour drive, so no shipping needed."

"Yeah, the old Imperial and Princess were, well, imperial standards, right? Both at 8", where modern scientific glass manufacturers make 200mm, which is where I assume he sources his globes. The Grande wax seems to stretch pretty well in other…"

Silas Jordan replied to Critter's discussion Crestworth Rocket aka Princess update
"Good to know, thank you! I've found a Grande, at least 2008-2010ish, has just about a quart of wax. And talking with someone with an Imperial, they had roughly ~1.7-1.8 quarts in there. The Princess globe is just about 6" taller, so a bit…"

Silas Jordan replied to Critter's discussion Crestworth Rocket aka Princess update
"I'm in the process of starting to make a Princess replica, or at least a lamp very much inspired by one, and this may have pushed me in a certain direction. I had been tossing the idea around of doing either yellow liquid and orange wax or…"

Silas Jordan replied to Andy's discussion Crestworth Princess Replica for Sale
"This should help you find some buyers. For example, Kleinanzeigen would not allow anyone to contact you from the US, because they require a EU phone number for verification.Good luck with the sale! I wish it was within my budget."

Silas Jordan replied to KittenChops's discussion Astro baby not flowing well
"That's great to hear! Should be relatively easy to remedy. My older Astro Baby has a screw in e14 base, but I think the new ones don't. They take that GU10 Halogen bulb with 2 prongs.A quick look on google shows that a 35w GU10 220v bulb…"

"I'm not terribly familiar with converters and how efficient they are, but that looks like it's running cool to me. There are a couple options potentially. To test if it is running to cold, and if more heat would help, try putting a shirt…"

"This is so cool! Should have this set up near the Imperial! Who knows, maybe the one you have is one they took on tour. haha. Even the spelling mistake on the sticker is neat."

"This is so damn cool and fits right along side your Imperial, though on the other side of the size spectrum, lol. But wasn't the Imperial also advertised with the Blues Magoos?"

"Hey Andy, thank you for all the info and advice, I may reach out as I progress with this project. I suspected his lamps would be slightly off because of that, but very close. I suppose I should give a bit more info about my plan. My plan is…"

andy ross replied to Silas Jordan's discussion Looking for Crestworth Rocket/Princess dimensions.
"Hi Silas, from experience, you'll find building one is pretty much as expensive as buying the real thing - and they do come up from time to time, at around £2.5k+ depending on condition, fill etc The cylinder is the problem, as the whole…"
