<p>I have a screw cap century I might be willing to trade for this globe. It's wax has gone cream colored due to age. I would like to get a fresh white/blue. Was going to kit mine but I'm not sure how to go about dying the fluid w/o messing up the flow.</p>

How old is your blue/white century? Does it have a screw cap or bottle cap? If it was a bottle cap we could just trade globes. Otherwise I could definitely do the 2-liter bottle route. I didn't think of that. Would you prefer I put hot wax in a clean two liter bottle, let it cool then add the liquid or would you rather have the wax in a separate bottle? I would probably use seltzer bottle just to minimize any residual gunk.

<p>that would work but would have to pay for shipping both ways. do you drink soda by chance? 2-2 liter bottles would do it. i will pay shipping. no rush, just let me know because i have a blue/white century that needs new wax, and yours looks much better than what i have.</p>

Brad, I might be able to do that. We just need to figure out logistics. A mason jar would work for the wax or even a plastic container but the liquid is a pretty large amount. If you had an empty 52oz bottle I could transfer and cap it (I have a bench top capper)

Yeah, I figured that any 52oz can interchange with Lava Lite lamps... the weird thing is that my 1974 Century globe seems to fit on my 2014 Mathmos Astro. The Astro has a little inner "shelf" that the globe sits on nicely. When I tried the 2000 Aristocrat globe in the Astro base, it is tippy. It doesn't rest on the shelf I guess. There must be a slight difference between 1974 LL 52oz globes... a bit slimmer... not noticeable on a LL base, but with a 2014 Astro base, the difference becomes…

I agree... the white and blue just doesn't float my boat. It is also getting that used up look. Now that I have seen what my 52oz Century looks like with a GooKit (much better than the 32oz GooKits) I can't wait to do it. My biggest struggle is whether to use the Silver Sharpie wax from once of my 32oz globes or start with a new color entirely.... I really like how the light glows through the lava when not too much color is used so I may have answered my own question.

<p>Like Brad just said, any 52oz globe can interchange with the century or other aristocrats. Very nice lamp for 2 bucks, and I feel the blue and white is a bit over used so I'd change colors personally.</p>

Well now that I know this is an aristocrat can someone tell me whether the globes on aristocrats are interchangeable with centuries? My old century is at work so I can't check. The weird thing is that my old century globe fits nicely on my Mathmos heritage bases (they have a little platform). I just tried the aristocrat globe on the Mathmos base and it is very wobbly!<br />
<br />
So this makes me wonder if newer century globes fit on a Mathmos heritage base.
