60s Squiggle Aristocrat

Late 60s (I believe) Aristocrat Squiggle. I got this off eBay and it was pretty cloudy. I borrowed Autumn's MSR filter and filtered the liquid and it looks pretty good now! The flow is weird, but it's a really neat lamp. :)

Comment by Erin on April 9, 2011 at 6:05pm: My globe sits in there just fine. However, the liquid has started to cloud up again since the filter. There is this white/off-white stuff under the orange wax...I think that's the culprit.

Comment by Jim on April 9, 2011 at 5:56pm: Hmmmm. Maybe I better take a closer look at my base and socket. Something ain't right. My bulb clearly hits the globe.

Comment by Erin on April 9, 2011 at 3:54pm: Not a problem so far. The globe sits in there fine and all is well.

Comment by Jim on April 9, 2011 at 3:31pm: Save your receipt. I sense you will find that those sit a fraction of an inch too high and the globe won't sit properly. :-(

Comment by Erin on April 9, 2011 at 2:50pm: I found three 30W 20R bulbs at Lowe's today for $11 so I bought them. Trying one out now.

Comment by Jim on April 9, 2011 at 2:12pm: Well - banner day. Gonna fire up my Squiggle for the first time. Giving it a go with a 40 watt R14.

Comment by Erin on April 7, 2011 at 6:56pm: Yes, can you link us to this 25W bulb? I have a 30W flood in mine, I think.

Comment by Jim on April 7, 2011 at 5:00pm: Bohdan - what style 25 watt bulb do you use? My Squiggle is still banished to the basement until I can find a suitable bulb.

Comment by Erin on April 7, 2011 at 3:38pm: Thanks Diin! I can't run it for very long. Within a few hours, it overheats and the lava gets even weirder. Just circular blobs floating around the middle.
