I am in the process of restoring a Regency model 4202. The lamp takes about an hour and a half to start flowing good using the 40 watt A-15 bulb that the sticker in the base says it takes. The lamp will flow 30-40 minutes and then separate from the coil. I assumed the lamp was over heating, so I used a dimmer the next time I ran the lamp. It flowed well using the dimmer, but then again the wax separated from the coil. I removed the coil and cleaned it with Dawn dish detergent, rinsed it well and then put it back in the bottle and let the wax settle back on the coil. I ran the lamp the next day using the dimmer and same story. The wax seems to have some kind of white sediment in it when it is melted. I am thinking this lamp will require a Goo Kit refill. Any thoughts? Thanks, Brad
