<p>Well, instead of taking a few pictures, I made a video. As you can see, it flows nicely but there are noticeable oxide chunks floating around, and two rubber feet are just bent out of shape and need repair/replacement, and everything shiny could use a polish.</p>

<p>It got here today, I'll post some pictures later, when I've ran it for a few hours.</p>
<p>There are some thing that need some attention about it. The finish of the legs has gone a bit dull, I could try polishing that. 2 of the 3 rubber feet have gone wonky, and as a result the Telstar doesn't stand perfectly straight, and there's light coming from where the legs meet with the base, as they don't sit 100% flush with the base. I could try fixing those myself, but I could also get some new…</p>

<p>There are some thing that need some attention about it. The finish of the legs has gone a bit dull, I could try polishing that. 2 of the 3 rubber feet have gone wonky, and as a result the Telstar doesn't stand perfectly straight, and there's light coming from where the legs meet with the base, as they don't sit 100% flush with the base. I could try fixing those myself, but I could also get some new ones from Mathmos. The entire lamp is a bit scuffed up, with a few deep scratches. That doesn't bother me too much, as it's, at least for me, more about the goo. Still, giving it a shine with some polish shouldn't hurt.</p>

<p>The lamp's been on for an hour, and the lava does flow, but there are chunks of oxide from the spring, as well as some hard wax chunks, floating around in the lava, spoiling the look. The colour of the wax is green, and the liquid is a very faded blue, it's basically clear with a blue hue in the right light. But I can always get a new bottle if the chunks annoy me enough. I'll let it run for a few more hours and then take some pictures.</p> Good pull, friend.
