I would like to ask your expert help in identifying the model/year of my lava lamp. Sadly, it fell off a window ledge in a windstorm...the cap broke in 5 or 6 pieces and the yellow liquid came out. I've posted several photos in my album. I think it might be a Century, but some of its characteristics don't match the Century description. Also, would you recommend trying to repair it (if possible) or just selling for parts? Thank you!

There was a thread on here a few months back about someone who was 3D printing replacement screw caps for the vintage 52oz lamps. But you would still need to replace the liquid/goo. So selling might be your best bet if you aren't up for the project of goo kitting / glittering it.
Here you go\

Shame to goo kit a vintage lamp if you can avoid it, You have a good amount left.
'If you need more factory goo, I have some I can send you, but would be best to have a small sample of what's left to match true shade of color as it varies
A replacement Fluid is possible with distilled water and a mix of propelyne glycol (% varies depending on vintage)

I thought I found a replacement cap for it., but it is not threaded
the cap and bottle thread looks like the crestworth bottles till they went to metal screw tops
I picked this up at a flea market for 16 bucks. Its dated 1997 yellow and clear. I believe this is one of the made in the USA bottles. Any help appreciated. thanks.
