Supplies and such...

Im looking for a source of globes, caps, contents i cant bring myself to scrap any of my working lamps no matter how poorly they perform.

Your best bet will be eBay or here. There's no distributor for spare parts, unfortunately. What are you looking for specifically? There's always someone selling here. :)

Guess the best answer is "Totally Custom" Globes. There is a warehouse store that sells glassware that might do the trick, I'll have to come up with a heat source too i guess.

If you're ok with playing with some 32oz, go to http://www.sciplus.com/p/LAVA-BOTTLE_46670 for the bottles.  I don't know anything about the store, but they do have some really neat scientific/play stuff.

I talked to the people at American science surplus. They have a massive stock of empty 32oz globes, no more 52 as they were old stock from LL and won't be restocked.

Since theyre already empty they probably dont come with bottle caps. But i know some people use new caps and a capper to get it to seal, other people use the carefully removed caps, if you still have them, and tighten them back on with a hose clamp. I personally like to use some sort of sealant as well as tightening the old cap back on.

Perfect if the picture is to be believed it even has a coil installed

Yes, I think they do come with coils.

 Some will have the coils in them. From what I have seen in the stores, only about a 3rd have the coils.
