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

Crestworth Princess Inspired Build.

A real Crestworth Princess (also apparently called a Rocket way back) has been a holy grail lamp of mine for quite some time. But given several reasons, such as cost, living in the states, shipping, etc. it will likely be quite some time before I get my hands on one. Never mind the fact that I've never even seen one come up for sale. As far as I know, there is only a single one on this side of the pond, beautifully restored by Critter. So a couple years ago I started to look into what it would…See More

"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."

Silas Jordan replied to Critter's discussion Crestworth Rocket aka Princess update

"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…"

"Yeah, I suggested that above as well. Though I tend to hold off making permanent adjustments like that unless I have to."

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…"

Silas Jordan replied to KittenChops's discussion Astro baby not flowing well

"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?"
