Oozing Goo - The Lava Lamp Syndicate

Does anybody have details about the huge Lava Lamp that used to be on the side Hy Spector's factory at 1650 West Irving Park Road in Chicago. I cant find any photos on line. How tall was that thing?

Thank you! I guess my memory was embellishing just a little and now that you mention it I do of course remember that it was a sign in the shape a Lava Lamp. I guess it said "Lava Lite" across the top or the bottom. No way an operating lamp would have survived a Chicago winter! Besides, a giant Lava Lite outside would have attracted chemically stimulated people and I don't rember ever seeing any observers sitting on the sidewalk-or ever being one! It was just so cool and just a little surreal to go by a large building that had a giant version of such an iconic object sticking out of it. I think it had to be 20 feet high.
