Hey guys, I got a little project I am working on so I am collecting globes like these. If anyone has ones like these that are different colors, I’d be interested in buying or trading glass. PM me if you have something!

Quoted from Aladdin:

Wow, that’s amazing! Does the phone actually work if you plugged it in?

The phone actually works! Lady said it sat on her kitchen counter for years as a conversation piece.

Quoted from vid1900:

I don't think we have enough interest to get the run of monster globes made.
I posted in several other forums as well, and very little response.

You’ve let me down…….. lol if you decide to do it, I’d be in for 2.

Quoted from vid1900:

Yeah, me too.
It seems like everyone is hunkering down for a recession that is never going to happen.
I sent pics and all the dimensions of the base and cap to a fab shop in Vietnam just to have them fab the metalwork; and they they quoted me back the entire thing...powdercoated base, cap, ceramic socket, dimmer switch, usa plug, boxed, for $8usd FOB Hai Phong (quantity 1000). I did not even ask for all the electrical and they just figured it out on their own.
Too bad they do not do Borosilicate glass.....

Yeah that would be costly. Do you think that making a lamp out of an enormous florence flask would allow the flow to be consistent?

It looks like the crystal meth business has made some of these somewhat affordable.

The kids have already done it.

Right, But i am talking about bigger than that. I have a few grandes, and an excaliber already. I want something polarizing in size like a colossus.

They seem to claim that you can do an exchange In Store, but won't refund your shipping costs....

Butt the one year warranty on vibrators is highly respectable

Quoted from undrdog:

Maybe that's the problem with my huge lamp. It takes hours to heat up.

All grandes take a few hours to heat up. If you have an Excalibur, it’s pushing 4.5. And colossus are 6 if I remember correctly
