Green & Yellow Century - What Happened? :(

I have (had?) a beautiful late 60s model Century. I only ran it a few times, then put it on our basement. I brought it upstairs today to run next to my yellow/orange 60s Century and noticed all this stuff floating in the water. Anyone else have this happen? It's been running a few hours now and it's lava soup. :(

Comment by kiramarie on October 24, 2011 at 11:31pm: here is a wild thought.. maybe the wax is not the dead part but rather the water.. you could go the distilled route and use salt and stuff from your goo kit to get it flow... ... just a thought

Comment by Erin on October 24, 2011 at 3:20pm: I think the wax might be shot. The residue was in the liquid and didn't *seems* to come from the wax, but it almost had to of. Yes, this is indeed the same lamp.

Comment by kiramarie on October 24, 2011 at 1:42pm: doubtful the lava would even flow in distilled water though dont ya think ? wax yes possibly died but still a mystery how the pale green water would change to such a bold yellow..or is this just how water looks in photo?

Love a good lava mystery but to bad on such a bottle...:(

Comment by Tim Gill on October 24, 2011 at 1:19pm: Iver the wax is dead and there is no hope for it :( or it may just have clouded over time and some filtering might sort it out - to test this you could empty the water out and put some DI water in it and then run it to see if it clouds - if it does then the wax is shot.

Comment by kiramarie on October 24, 2011 at 12:39pm: also.. what exactly was "stuff " flowing in bottle with wax.. was it powder or a form or residue? in photo it looks like smoke or clouds...

Comment by kiramarie on October 24, 2011 at 12:35pm: wait.. these photos are of same lamp? the before and after ?? Holy crap... this is something I have never seen.

if these two photos are of same lamp.. sadly I don't see how the pale green water will ever return.. Well if you can get wax to get right and fluid to clear..yellow water with the nice creamy lava may look neat.. ...I know not ideal but still pretty and unique..
