Fiber optic questions, Kris...

I have a question. I just relamped my Ecstasy (what a pain) and my Love Bug needs a new bulb too. My main issue, though, is that the sprays, while not clumped per se, are not nearly as full as they used to be - the fibers congregate in some areas and spread out in others. Is there a way to fix this? I tried washing one once, but it took freakin' forever to dry and, even once dray, stayed clumped for weeks (though I used only water). My Sunburst spray, the HUGE 90s bouffant dome style, all hangs to one side and I can't get it to do anything else... and it used to be fluffy and nice.

Al;so, I see you say you love the clear/blue Midnight Century. I have the white/blue. If/when I find a clear/blue 52oz. bottle, I'll put the white/blue on my Silver Century base (still missing cap for the silver, too) and pass you the Midnight Century. Or, if you LIKE white/blue, there's the lamp as it stands, too. Possibly, if you happen into an extra Fantasia, we could trade? I have the Love Bug, Ecstasy, black Sunburst and an unknown steel cylinder model with no motor (in which I have a random-blink pink bulb for a firework effect) but would love to find one more glass-fiber lamp and then call that part of the collection closed, but I won't bid on eBay - not only because of my low budget but because I don't want to compete with you at all.

This is the only link I know of - http://oozinggoo.ning.com/forum/topic/show?id=1566398%3ATopic%3A26438 - the ad near the end of the page is the one I now have in possession. As for the brochure showing the Champagne, Celestial and Olympic, I have never seen that one here. If you find it, please point it out!

Kris, first, thanks for the link! Second, I can't find my Sunburst spray, gotta keep hunting. Looked everywhere I can think of. Third, with a bit of super glue, a new bulb and my one last extra heat spray, my Love Bug is back in business! It and my Ecstasy sit on a small shelf in a dark corner, the Ecstasy higher than the Love Bug, showing off the contrast between slow color changes with rotation and vibrant patterns without rotation.

Not a problem. I hope you find your spray. Lol. Good to hear the Love Bug made it through ok. Sounds like you have them displayed in the perfect spot!

I can't remember where you asked this so I will post it here. You were inquiring about the color wheels on some models.

All Sunbursts, Cosmos, UFO have the same color wheel - 8 colors, clear/orange/purple/red/teal/yellow/green/blue (clockwise) - Pie type sections.

Centurion has 3 colors, red/green/blue and it repeats 4 times (clockwise) - red/green/blue/red/green/blue/red/green/blue/red/green/blue - Pie type sections.

Omni has 8 colors - yellow/green/blue/purple/red/orange/yellow/red (clockwise) - each color is an arrow shape "shooting" into the other color (like the recycle arrows you see cans).
