Picked this up today from the thrift for a couple bucks. This is a web pic but mine is the same. Its a Mobilite goose neck made in Japan in the 1960s. Works great. Might set it up on top of a Kallax.

Thanks for a great thread and inspiring me to add this to my new listening space. Corrugated sheet metal plasma sculpted by a local artist; I just added a couple of strands of Christmas lights.

This one was in one of those Earl Young - 'Mushroom Houses', in Charlevoix, Michigan. That's where I got it.

Here's my sweet little yellow 60s lamp. It's hard to get a good picture! This is a great thread by the way!

A friend of mine asked if I could make her a Trumpet lamp for her grandson who is a music major at Temple U , so I told her to find a trumpet and I would give it a try. It turned out pretty good. She loved it and is giving it to him for Christmas.

A permanently sticky valve. A very nice job. He should love it.

Vintage:


No make, no year can be seen anywhere on it.
I remember that my Grandmother had several of these in the 70s, as did many other folks around that time.
When I saw it at a Goodwill, I had to have it. Painted all the metal with Hammered Bronze and replaced the old incandescent with a low-wattage soft white LED for a soft glow.
It's just the right amount of ugly / awesome that I was going for.

I'd like to thank this thread for the inspiration......and I'm seriously not joking.

That's the first time I have seen one done horizontally, but please pull the tuning slide out and flip it over so that the spit valve is on the bottom in its proper position.

If could ask whers you got your lamp. I have an Ivation brand dimmable led, I like. Thinking I need another.

I see what you mean but I can not get it out . Any suggestions ?I even wrapped it in a towel and hit it with a hammer and it would not budge .
