greenish color

.so last week i won this on ebay. i thought a cloudy yellow/orange us gen1 coachlite. turns out its a greenish color with yellow wax. it has a weird metal lid and the coach top does not fit over it all the way to line up with the holes in the rods. the cord is white with a push button swich. what the heck do i have here? and how do i get this lid off so i can work on it?

i plan on replacing the globe eventually but id really like to get in flowing decently for now

Comment by lava luva ~ Tiffany on March 8, 2012 at 10:12am: thanks waggs! im still trying to get it to flow.

Comment by lava luva ~ Tiffany on March 7, 2012 at 10:25pm: ive boiled the wax and filtered the liquid. its clear now and a really beautiful green and the wax is a golden yellow. now i just need to wait and see if it will flow.

Comment by lava luva ~ Tiffany on March 7, 2012 at 7:23pm: the wax looks like its starting to separate. im going to try to boil it and filter the liquid.

Comment by lava luva ~ Tiffany on March 7, 2012 at 6:04pm: i got the lid off. the tag inside the lad says A173056. its starting to spike but its very cloudy with white stuff in the bottom under the wax.
