Wanted USA made lava lamps

[David Valle]

I seem to be all over the place on my collecting and figure I need to try and narrow it down some.

I'm interested in any midnight aristocrat lava lamps . USA made please. Open to any clear color combination.

Also interested in a giant or Astros

I suggest you just hang out on Flebay.

I just picked up a like new old LL for only $15.00, but that was shear luck, most of these originals go for big bucks.

Seems like as us 50's baby boomers get older, richer, and more sentimental about the good old daze, all things

"retro" are back in style and are not consider junk like they were in the 80's when lava lamps enjoyed a surge of

popularity with the college kid crowd :)

True. I've decided for sure to get grande and gookit and see how that looks.

I am doing the same with one of my worthlessly cloudy Grande's.

Someone posted a pic of his Ice blue fluorescent Grande he hadnt even capped it yet, still burping, but it

looks GREAT (you have probably seen the pic).

So I want to do one just like it.

He said he used a whole tub of fluoresent blue, plus a dime size piece of regular blue.

So I have some fluorescent blue (and green) on order :)

 

When I do my project, I am going to replace the cheap coil they put in these with a better grade stainless steel

spring coil which I can order from McMaster-Carr.

 

It's so sad that LL is having these made so cheaply these days that the customer has to modify them :(

Shamefull!!! just shamefull
