The logo appears to have been silk screen painted onto the glass and is in excellent condition.

Stands 18" and is the tallest of the straight tube line. An expensive item that costs $150 in the year 2004. As of 2022, a similar RooR would cost more than $300 and some in the $800 range.

There are no scratches and has not been chipped.

The downstem measures 5.3".

Embellished with an art design to keep this piece from being considered a piece of illegal drug paraphernalia.

Original sticker in excellent condition.

Pictured to the far right is an original RooR replacement downstem, bowl and gasket. Each glass piece has the RooR painted label in blue. The bowl has a blue glass dot on it. Cost about $26 in the year 2005. As of the year 2022 it would cost more than $50. To the far left is the original downstem and it measures 5.3 inches long and 0.55 inch at its widest on stem and a hole measuring 14mm. 2.5 inches front joint to end of downstem. The downstem to the right of it is a replacement which has slits cut in the bottom of the stem to act as a diffuser and costs about $10. It is slightly shorter but was described as a "14mm to 14mm 6-Cut Diffused Downstem Tube (2.5 inches)". The 14mm bowls above are replacements and are thicker than the originals and cost about $5 a piece.

There are many glass screens of various sizes and have cost about $0.50 a piece for more than 20 years. The one on the far right that is black is more than 15 years old and that style is not made anymore. There are two plastic cases that hold all of the screens and are pictured in the previous gallery image.

In order to keep the glass clean brushes will be needed along with a good cleanser such as isopropyl or rubbing alcohol. Isopropyl alcohol has only been around since 1920 and is a pure alcohol unlike rubbing alcohol which also contains some water and perhaps other ingredients. The brush on the top is the defacto standard for cleaning straight tubes and is actually a bird feeder brush that costs around $10. It is a 3 inch wide brush. The other brushes were picked to fit the RooR and will reach everywhere the bird feeder brush cannot. A brush set of 10 can be bought for around $12 and at least three of them will be useful. The pokers really aren't needed but can be handly at times.

The black ring picture here is used as a cylinder ring. This is necesary in laboratories to keep graduated cylinders from breaking if they tip over and that is exactly what it is used for here. It is difficult to get graduated cylinder rings; however, the local hardware store has 2 inch bathtub gaskets that will work just as well.

The only other weakness is the rubber gasket that connects the downstem to the straight tube. New ones last about three years before they start getting hard. Have not seen replacements in more than a decade. As an alternative they can be made from 10mm (i.d.)/14mm (o.d.) Latex tubing. Will cost about $12 for a one meter length.

Carrying cases can cost $80-$100 and may be too bulky to be useful. Standing behind the Roor straight tube is a homemade carrying case. It cost $20 in materials and about 5 hours to complete. It holds the RooR straight tube plus all of the accessories and brushes. It is made from a 4 inch mailing tube that has been cut and altered to be the appropriate size.

The carrying case appears to be much larger than needed, but the interior is padded on the bottom and top. The long cleaning brush also sticks out the top of the glass tube when stored inside the case.

The mailing tube has been paper mached with blue tissue paper and water diluted wood glue. The surface has been clear coated with lacquer.

There are 2 lids. The plastic one with the blue pom-poms act as a buffer for the larger lid.

This is the interior from the top looking toward the bottom.

This is the inside of the top lid with an enormous amount of glue holding the wood disk to the cardboard.

The wood disk has been stained and coated with polyurethane.
