i jimmy rigged a vacuume hepa filter and used it to filter in my cloudy lamp and it worked! it came out beautifly clear and after 3 droplets of bubble soap shes flowing like a champ :)
it really is orangish red. not the typical dark bloody red that came with the red/clear coaches so i dont think its original to tha coach lamp.

Yes, that's the one. I'm getting close, but it's been really frustrating.
lol...thanks! good luck with your lamp! is it the green/red combo i saw posted? im shure one of the goo gurus here will help you get it flowing again :)
That's great and really good for a n00b! Congratulations! I have a lamp from the 60s I am trying to fix and it's been really hard to get it flowing again. But I did a full fluid change.
oh, and i added a few tiny drops of bubble soap to get it flowing again. it has execllent flow now :)
thanks! im very pleased with how it turned out. pretty good for a newbie i guess ;)
i set the filter over a bowl and used a turkey injector syringe and squirted two or three syringe fulls at a time over the top of the filter. it took about an hour but i was going slow and being really carefull to not loose any of the liquid. then i used a pair of tongs and a wet paper towels to clean the inside of the globe with the wax still in it.
heres pics of the filter thingy i used

Did you just pour the liquid through the filter? How did you use it? It looks great! I have a lamp that has a not red/not orange color in it - kinda like a vibrant salmon color. It's really neat!
