I have 2 more GRANDE but one is dead and needs refurbished. I am hoping to do that with forum help.

Thanks!

Thanks for the welcome! :) It's cool that you got to tour the Mathmos factory.

I'm on my 3rd Mathmos bulb for my heritage lamp. The first lasted about a month, the second lasted 5 months. If the third blows in short space of time, I think I'll just get something cheaper. You can apparently get a pack of 10 from AMAzon for the same price as 1 from Mathmos!

Hello and hru?

Yes your right about the lights but I can dust the place with a leaf blower. Roger 

Thank you very much - it is really nice to have found you

Thank you Modulo ´70

Thank you.   I am particularly interested in Mathmos lamps and the experience of people in being able to obtain and modify (if necessary) for use in the USA.

to be honest I cant remember, I have had it from new , it was a gift in 1979 !!

Thank you for the welcome. Mathmos...I have one. The other seven are chinese knock offs.   

Thanks for reaching out! My 1977 Model 100 took a topple (I was not there or would have kept the broken cap) and is now missing half its cap. I am eager to find a cap for it but don't see it online There are many discussions here. Where should I go? Thanks so much for reaching out. this is a great group. 

Thanks.

Thanks, serenity now, lol

Hi, thanks for the friend request. I bought the lamp on my Avatar at a local car boot sale in around 1999 for £2. I have'nt been able to find out much about it. It was definately factory made, the top with the three bulbs is not a later addition. It is 1960's as it has the early "Arcolectric" switches, brass bulb holders and the pre-1970 red/black/green wiring colours. All of the bulbs are identical old "Bell" branded ones, which supports my "Prototype or exhibition" theory as it was'nt in regular use for long enough to need any bulbs replaced. Shortly after buying it, I took it to Mathmos (they are about 8 miles from where I live), they thought it might be an early prototype, but had no records from the early Crestworth days. The lamp presumably should have had a shade of some type, which is missing.

Thanks for the warm welcome, Modulo. Still feeling my way around here. Stumbled across the ning while trying to ID/find parts for a stray globe and got sucked in. 

Well I'm from the US but living in Honduras. Does that still count?

make me an offer !!!

Thank you! I am hoping to add photos of them as they get taken out of storage and take over my house, as they should!

Thank you!  I bet Jim had a lava lamp. I’m new at this. Still playing with my vintage century. It forms a ball and floats in the middle. Unsure what to add/do. 

thank you!!

Thank you still feeling my way around the site lots of info on here

Thank you! I'm still trying to get my yellow top flow right. Even after I emptied and scrubbed the bottle it climbs up the side. Its better than no flow or all to the top but still... I guess I need to scrub it again.

Right back atcha!

I would like to post some pics of my collection but, being a woodworker for 35 years, I am not computer literate. Going to need help just navigating this site. Started the account a year ago but, old computer went kablooy. Have a new one now which is completely different. Glad to be back and will be working with this but, any help I can get with what button to push and what does what was be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Very funny my goo friend.. Yeah I guess I have come and gone over the years but very happy to be back. AGAIN! Thanks for remembering me Mr. 70! :-)

Thank you so much ;-). You guys are encouraging me too much already. 

Hi! Thanks. I’m after making a tinsel foil Fluidium but using old Hunter mix. I’ve been told you might have thin strip tinsel foil like in the old Hunters orange liquid / tinsel foil lamps from the 1970’s. Do you have any?

Thank you! I've looked over the forum for years and years! Great site y'all got! 

Hi Modulo'70

What would you like to know about it? It has clouded up quiet a lot over the years and the glitter has become translucent. I was hoping to resurrect it to its former glory. I contacted the company in the south near me but they said that they don't have that shape bottle or do repairs. 

I saw a person had said that they had repaired a lava lamp on eBay. So contacted him he roughly told me how to do it and suggested this website might help.

Nope!

Thank you,  I'm not "Mr" forums and Facebook so this is all quite new to me.

I am a lover of lava lamps though and I've found a lot on here very informative. 

So addictive,  bought a mathmos neo and telstar this week already on evilbay. 

Just need to catch the postman before the missis does "Wah ha ha ha" .

Thanks! I can’t wait to share my experiences and projects!

How may I assist you?

Thanks so much! I was a member years ago! Glad to be back. 

Thanks! I'm really glad having found this great site.

Hey there,

How ya been? Not 2031 like you mentioned but do feel bad for my lack of replys over the years. Please forgive the time that has gone by since you have written. Life seems to go by so quickly. I have not bought any lamps in years, have sold quite a few about 4 years ago when I loved and have kind of lost touch of values. I have since moved again and have transported some great lamps down to Arizona. Don't have a lot of room to display them correctly so might consider selling some lamps that have been packed away. At any rate, what has been going on with you?  

thank you so much for the kind comment! I've actually got a Black and White Ribcage Lava Lamp from Spencers i still gotta unbox and set up (i totally underestimated the size of the shelf I bought at 5 below so i have to get a bigger one before I worry about setup unfortunately @__@) and from there I plan on getting a few more whenever I can afford them! On the topic, do you have any advice on where to find good quality lamps, especially on the more affordable side? 

Thank you Modulo.  It's a pleasure to be here and to interact with folks who also enjoy lava lamps.  I never would have guessed there was such a large and international community.
