Yep, there's a silver Starship Grande, minus cap, in my local Goodwill, which is Renton, WA. They want $70 for it. Globe is cloudy yellow/blue. Are these indeed hyper-rare? Does anybody want it? I could pick it up for someone. Photos linked below.
If I did get it, I'd have to go Sunday, hopefully it'd still be there.

yeah, sorry Brad. I'm also a big Starship fan. It was my first lamp, and I love them.
good tip kirk - do you have an email address for Susan? (or any contact info?)
I have a lot of friends into the 3d printing scene, and I'll probably talk to some of them to make something, at least for a first attempt. I don't know too many metal workers.
Thanks Critter.
Store opens in about 40 min. I'll be down there shortly after that :)
Goo-kitting is pretty simple. Cut and dry. There are some things to look out for though. I've done a pretty good amount of kits so far and they have for the most part turned out great. I did have a few "problem" globes that I failed to clean thoroughly (although you would never know it) and have resorted to buying a can of Brakleen and redoing them due to streaking and wax sticking. I have since tried an experiement last nite with coating the entire globe with PURE surf instead of using a diluted with distilled water version. It came out crystal clear but time will tell if it will "restreak". If you have any questions Brian, a lot of us on here have great tips to offer on kitting. Lamphead helped me tremendously!!!
Brian, here you go...

Strange - the globe has 2 coils? My regular grande just has the one. This one has one big one, and one smaller one:

Congratulations! You've got yourself one rare Starship, Brian.
By the way, LL put two coils in the neon green and neon pink Grandes, too.
