<p>[QUOTE="beema, post: 396161, member: 8442"]Hi, just joined last night so I could ask about this, so I'm sorry if I don't contribute much! Hopefully someone on here knows about this. It's not super important or a huge deal, just curious.</p><p>Been shopping for a "coach" model of 70s lava lamp and noticed that despite being almost entirely the same, some have a knob on the base, and moldings around the handle prongs, whereas others have just empty holes that the prongs go in to and no knob. Also the prongs/handle on the knob one are two separate pieces instead of one. I had a model with the knob, and as far as I could tell it didn't actually do anything? So I was wondering if there are any significant differences in these that I couldn't tell from a photo, or if they are just different production runs and they went cheaper on materials the 2nd time around or something? The knob variant seems to be more rare, as I've found a bunch of the ones without it and only two with it.</p><p>Here are some pictures of what I'm talking about:</p><p>[ATTACH]137738[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]137739[/ATTACH] vs [ATTACH]137740[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]137741[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
