You most certainly get what you pay for. My Mathmos Astro (green wax, blue liquid) is 25 years old and still going strong. Replaced the light bulb a couple of times and about to get a replacement bottle.
Your old lamp looks identical to the one my parents have. It's Chinese made, but they bought it in a department store in Germany in either the 80s or 90s (they can't agree on the exact year). If yours is the same one, it's a Lipan LP-10. Hope this info is useful to you!
@@RestoRoombaRobotRestorations you're welcome, and thank you for the beautiful lava lamp videos! I think that particular Lipan lamp must be really well made, or at least the contents of its bottle. My parents' Lipan has been running regularly for over 30 years, still has crystal clear blue liquid and flows nicely.
I think i have the same non-brand German lava lamp that you have, the only difference being that yours has a cap with an ever so slightly more rounded tip.
@@RestoRoombaRobotRestorations Ohh 😮 yes maybe I should sell something and buy Mathmos lamp because from what they are saying on their website these lamps can last a very long time, maybe even it’s a buy it for life.
Mathmos is made in the UK and uses 230/240V bulbs, you would need adapter and appropriate bulb. I know, that there are GU10 35W for 120V which can be used in the US for Astro lamp.. So there is probably a way to do it.
Looks like I was wrong and just got too excited at seeing a "Japan" mark on the box. Do you know if the Neo is really 110-240v capable and would just need a plug adaptor to function in Japan/USA? I'd love to import a Neo, but if I'm paying a premium for just the "frame" and bottle because I'm gutting all the electrical bits then it becomes not worth it :(
@@AB0BA_69Don't know what happened to my response, so I'll write it again, anyway so it looks like Neo is running a 12V bulb, so there is transformer used, I've seen a comment on reddit, saying that it is internationally rated and that it's confirmed by Mathmos, but I can't find it on their website.. So maybe it can run these voltages, would be worth writing them and asking about it..then you would just need the plug adapter. If that doesn't work, you would need to find appropriate 12V transformer, that runs on Japanese electrical grid.
I love your Mathmos Astro. It’s what drew me to your video. You explained these lamps very well and I look forward to enjoying more content from you.
Aww thanks! Maybe someday I will buy and restore a Lunar - my dream lamp ;)
They all look really nice, especially the NASA one

I know I’m late commenting but if it’s possible I’d like to see a restoration of any Intelli Bin model Roomba if you can get a hold of one
As of now i don’t have any, but if i ever get one I will!

Omg, this is it! Thanks for the info, i couldn’t find it.

I wish Mathmos would ship to the Colonies.. er I mean the States, because they’re the best, and there simply isn’t a close second.
True that. I’ve seen some used/new ones on Ebay with a slighly higher price but they’re out there
Wow, the NASA lamp looks fantastic. The clarity, color, and flow are off the charts! Who makes that one?
No idea, found it in a gift store online.

old Eurosat Soundtrack😀
I’m so happy whenever someone notices! This is my cover of it actually, I can never forget classic eurosat!
Very cool!
It's cool ! Thank you :)
Do you know the alimentation cable's lenght of the mathmos black vinyl ?
I think it’s over 2 meters long. I have it on top of a shelf that is pretty high up and the cable plugs in no problem.
Thank you so much :)@@RestoRoombaRobotRestorations
Argh it's hard between the NASA and the Telstar Rocket Lava Lamp.
cool, sad I don’t have a roomba:(
But how can you buy so many when they are so expensive especially the Mathmos. I do like the Telstar a lot.
Collecting money from selling custom stuff ;)
@@RestoRoombaRobotRestorations Ohh 😮 yes maybe I should sell something and buy Mathmos lamp because from what they are saying on their website these lamps can last a very long time, maybe even it’s a buy it for life.
I think the nasa lamp would look better with a white cap. But hey could just be me.
I myself like the red, but yeah i see white fitting better
No way is that the music from Europapark Eurostar?
Yes, that’s my cover of In A Second Orbit from Eurosat. I actually made some europa park themed stuff on my channel : )
Wont the food colouring in the wax leach out in the water?
It's not food colouring, it's paint pigment.
@@RestoRoombaRobotRestorations ah ok.
Is the Astro vinyl the normal Astro??? Please get an Astro baby with plum liquid
No, Astro Vinyl is a variant of the regular Astro, it is more expensive. The regular astro also comes in multiple colours
Wait, Mathmos ships to Japan??? Japan has the same 110AC and even plug shape as USA. Score!!! 😂

czy ta lampa nie śmierdzi jak się tak mocni nagrzewa?
Nie, to nie aż taka moc
Potrafią pół dnia grzać i nic nie czuć
