I've got an older original lamp I picked up on ebay quite awhile ago. When I turn it on it performs great for 40 minutes then the wax settles into a motionless slightly elevated glob on the bottom. I'm running a standard 40 watt oven bulb. Any ideas what is wrong?
thanks.

There's a chance it's overheating, given that it works great for a time and then stops. You could try a dimmer, which would allow you to let the lamp reach its operational state, then you could adjust the dimmer accordingly to keep it there. Here's a link for a good, inexpensive dimmer (I've bought several) :

Good luck!
I tried a dimmer once without success but will admit did not fully test the different levels. I will try again.
