wave machine quest

I am a newbie here. And am hoping that perhaps the oozing goo community can provide some direction. well probably lots of direction and help! I am, initially, looking for a wave motion lamp (?). Not even sure if it is even a lamp. I will attempt to describe and am sure someone will know what it is. 12 to 14 inch long rectangular 'tube' that rocks back and forth, filled with 'water'; as it rocks it creates waves. Usually blue but in my search I have seen them with colored fluids. Lavalites.com. shows numerous discontinued models. Apparently Discovery.com has one but it appears to have a less than stellar reputation...leaks and makes annoying noises. Rare on ebay...yesterday my snipe got outsniped by another buyer. And that was the first time I have seen a 'wave machine' on ebay in quite awhile. The one on ebay had tiny dolphins in it. I would prefer it to be fish-free...ok mammal-free. Is there anyone here who can provide information on purchasing one these? Or anyone willing to part with one? Am a therapist and would like one for my office. Thanks!

Hi Denny,

I remember those days too! They used to call them "Wave Machines". Most of them had sound.
I got one for Christmas about a year ago with sound. Th only thing about it, is that it doesn't have a
volume control.

They call them "Tidal Wave Machines" now, and some call them other names. But here are a couple links to where you can find some. They also call them "Tide Machines".

This is a place/site called Star Magic:

Here's some at Amazon:

That's about all I've been able to come up with. I checked the Walmart and Spencer's sites, but unfortunatley didn't find any at either place.
Hope this helps!
