I bought this lamp today at a flea market for $5. On the way home I stopped at GoodWill and bought a dark skinned naked Barbie for $1.... ( anyone ever see a grown man standing in line to pay for a naked Barbie? ).....When I got home, I disassembled it, cleaned every part with hot water, dish soap and a tooth brush. I then reassembled and installed the Barbie in place of the Greek statue. My wife whipped up the skirt and lei out of her craft supplies. I used some scrap rattan to cover the top and bottom., but think I will change it again to something else to be determined later.
I tested the electrical circuit and know the light and pump works, but I only ran it for a few seconds, I dont want to damage the pump by running it dry. Tomarrow I'm gonna stop at Walgreens and buy some mineral oil.
