It was cross threaded and REALLY scratchy in the socket. I used a piece of thin rubber to grab the bulb and work it out. It was a YUGE pain.<br />

<p>SUCCESS!</p>
<p></p>
<p>Jeezus!</p>
<p></p>
<p>And the bulb is cross-threaded... I think it's more than 40w, too.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Had to heat and use spudgers to break the bond. PAIN IN THE ARSE!</p>
<p></p>
<p>Now, how to get the damn bulb out without breaking it?…</p>

<p>This looks a lot like the earliest versions of the original century base. The first models were gold but the bases tend to turn silver over time- I have an early 70's century and the poor base is no longer a shimmering gold. As far as the goo stuff, maybe it'll heat and melt once you leave it on for a bit. May or may not work, but worth a shot. From then on you could try gently twisting the globe out or rocking it back and forth while holding the base.</p>

<p></p>
<p>I let it run for 8 hours to get really hot. Then I picked about an inch of goo out with a long thin blade, then couldn't get and further =(</p>
<p>Moved it to the worktable to try a combo of acetone and heat tomorrow night.</p>
