<p>btw, re The Lamp Caretaker's point about the fan action, actually the Galaxy was designed with a hole in the base of the spray Dome which you were supposed to position exactly above the fan, so the strands <strong>would</strong> move in the air currents - which were gentle enough not to damage the fibres. You'll find this in the original instructions.</p>

<p>Hi All for your help have now sorted the fan, and corrected the bulb from 10w to 20w, Disc obtained (Thanks you know who you are)</p>
<p>All I need now are the dimensions of the stand so that I can make one.</p>
<p>Thanks again.</p>

<p>The fan blows air out of the lamp to keep it cool. If it blew the air into the lamp the glass fibers would sway and break. This is the reason the blades of the fan are in the down position so it sucks the air out of the lamp. Fantasia fiber optic lamps do the same thing. They blow air out of the chrome ball to keep the lamp cool otherwise the lamp within would keep overheating and blow.

If you dig around archives on this site there's a guy who makes new discs for these types of lamps. I would try to find him on this site and send him a message. On occasion he appears on eBay selling his replacement discs. He even makes custom discs with funky colors.

<p>Hi Jonny & Callum.</p>
<p>Thank you both for your advice.</p>
<p>Not sure how to message you both direct as still finding my way around the site.</p>

<p>Ill try the novus polish, luckily the scratches are only very light and do not show in dark, also told to try tooth paste or UPVC polish, I will try round the back on a small area.</p>
<p>Have now tried the fan both ways round and adjusted the blades but not a lot of movement.</p>
<p></p>

<p>hi bob ( are u the same bob ) on FB ? in a band? anyway for the glass colour wheel id look on the web / or local glass cutters, i had a disc cut many years ago for the crystalite, just tell them it needs to be heat proof due to the bulb, ideally take the broken disc with ya so they can measure etc, theres bound to be places on the web as well</p>

<p>From experience, Novus polish works wonders for removing scratches from the dome; it made my Dad's one look like new! </p>
<p>I beleive the fan blows into the dome from memory but i could be wrong on that one.</p>
<p>Good luck on restoring your Galaxy!</p>
