    I have long coveted one of these and have now sourced one and am now cleaning/servicing it. I like the lampost shape of the stem under the globe.
    I note that the glass/globe rattles about much like the proverbial "brick in a top hat". Is it supposed to be like this or am I missing something ? It looks just like the pictures in the reference gallery.

    Is it an original 310 globe or the ‘stepped’ type from a Vapalux 320?

    @presscall It is different to the one on my M320 as it has a curved where the step is on the 320. The other dimensions are pretty much identical. The seller advertised it as "original glass" but who knows ?
    @LatMag49 - pics as requested
    I am starting to believe that these are supposed to rattle about as I cannot see any difference between the reference section pics and mine.

    The curved glass is original and was used only on the 310 lantern and T10 and T20 table lamps. Look after it, original ones are getting scarce though reproductions are available from base-camp at a price.

    Chris, I got one myself recently,
    and it's good to have one of these 310s.
    I wish a successful fettling.

    @Fireexit1
    That’s the original globe I had in mind. I’ve a couple, both cracked, which they seem particularly prone to.
