Entire Telstar Base and Nose cone are from china.

Well that stinks. :( Which components? I know their LED stuff comes from China, but I was under the impression lava and liquid was hand-poured and the bases were also made on-site.

I had it first hand from Mathmos that the Telstar components are definitely from China.

Did I read or hear somewhere that their bases come from China, but their bottles are still made on-site? It's possible they are not making their bases by hand anymore. Could explain the quality drop. 

That's

So what someone can't recommend that you use proper spelling? Thats a personal attack? Sorry teachers, don't bother to tell your kids how to do basic spelling or math, it doesn't matter anymore.

'Krissy', you may be dissapointed but the buyer of number 1 may have a pristine example just like my ones are.

This isn't school, it's a lava lamp forum and it's not your job to police anyone. You have a problem with Tim's spelling and feel it's your duty to guide him in the ways of education? Send him a PM. 

This is not the place Howard.

Do not SHOUT at me.

 

I have been purchasing Mathmos lamps since around 1995 and have noticed both customer service and product quality nosedive at Mathmos over the last couple of years.  (This could equate to Cressida Grainger loosing interest in her business, with the intention in the near future of selling it.)

 

As far as I am concerned, quality started to go downhill steadily from around 2000 when Cressida Grainger bought the remaining share of the business from David Mulley and started to make cutbacks (altering the formula for example).

 

It obviously infuriates you when do not like something that you hear and therefore launch a stinging personal attack on another member instead of communicating directly with the person who enraged you.

 

You are weak bully.



Howard said:

How exactly have standards "PLUMMETED"? The quality looks the same to me? My Jubilee is perfect and so do the other lamps they make. Even the LED stuff looks awesome.

If you do not stop the personal attacks I will have to ban you. This is your final warning. If you want to act like a Baby over an Astro there are other places you can go, we are happy to be here, we try to keep things friendly.
