<p>Thanks for the link but the Telstar is assembled a little different. Below the socket there is a locking washer which I was able to remove but below that it appears that the treaded rod going out the bottom is sealed in place. It’s not a traditional nut. I keep turning the strain relief underneath the base where the light cord goes in but it won’t unscrew. <br></br> To <br></br> <cite>Autumn said:…</cite></p>

Lizzie, I recently bought an old Telstar on eBay that I wouldn't mind re-wiring. I would love instructions on the process, if you could include photos and supplies. I'm also going to send you a friend invite.

Ok, so the last piece finally arrived.... My lava lamp is now happily gooing away!! I'll put up my rewiring photos in a separate post so they're easy to find if someone else needs them. Thanks everyone!

Just ordered all of the parts....<br />
<br />
I'll take photos as I go once everything arrives, (and share where I got all the bits from) exciting!<br />
We live with an electrician so I'll be sure to show him my work before I plug anything in haha!
