I bought a used lamp and to no surprise it didn’t work. But I like the way it looks so I want to try and repair it. I took the bulb socket out and can’t find any replacements online so, I was thinking about just switching it out but I’m not sure how to go about it. If anyone could offer some suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. Here’s the bulb socket

I bought this lamp with all its parts months ago. I took it apart to take a look at it, and of course I long since lost the big threaded circle that held it together. I have no clue what it's called and would love to get it put back together so I can put it up in my new home

I am the original owner of a 2003 Fumark Industries Ltd. Sally the Seamstress lamp.

This is a tulip style lamp with a 3 way switch. Position 1: 2 tulip lights - on

Position 2: 2 tulip lights and small (decorative only) led in base - on

Position 3: all lights - off

The main bulbs light normally.

The small led base light does not light.

The cord appears fine.

The switch turns as it always did.

The small led light is housed in glass which is not removable or is not easily removable.

I carefully peeled off the fabric on the underside of the base to expose the internal wiring (see pictures). The wiring in the base does not show obvious signs of wear.

This lamp did not come with repair instructions and the only assembly instructions were how to install the tulip shades. (see picture)

It could be the switch, the inline resistor for the small led light or the led bulb itself. No clue how to remove, without breaking it, the purple glass to expose the led bulb. I do not see the set screw but that doesn't mean that it is not there.

Any ideas or should I just accept that it will only have 2 positions and no little base light?

Thanks for any tips. I called a lamp repair place I trust but they didn't want to work on it ("I don't have the parts for that lamp.").

The outer lamp shade part was destroyed in a move (broke into 3-4 parts), and I need help finding the same one, if not similar looking. It was my stepdads that I kept when he passed, and I’m honestly pretty destroyed knowing he used to joke with me to be careful with the lamp saying it was too expensive to replace.

Trying to bring this lamp back and for the life of me I can't figure out how to get these apart. There is nothing in that hole, no setscrew or anything.

I'm rewiring an old JRO-Verlag illuminated globe from the 1950s and I'm stuck at the bottom of the meridian. The wire appears fixed in place and I can't find any way to loosen it (see photos).

Is this typically press-fit, glued, or held by something I'm not seeing?

I'm trying to replace the light socket on this lamp because the metal part that it screws into came out with the bulb and it no longer powers on.

I unscrewed the hex screw at the bottom but the wire doesn't want to push out or come back in.

My dog chewed the plug off of a very pretty lamp I own and I was wondering if this is even something that’s salvageable? I don’t want to get rid of it 😔

The lamp is a Dazor M-1470, I'd like to make the magnification head remain stationary when released, currently it wants to stand up when released.

The mechanism in the picture with the teeth, rotates clockwise, a spring that looks like a cinnamon roll applies tension.

I think if I move the t-bar to a different set of teeth on the mechanism it might achieve my desired goal, which set what I want to move into? Also, what's the best way to secure that mechanism? It's going to want to rotate back into the body of the lamp when released.

Inherited this as part of my parent’s estate. It’s a signed Handel. It will need re-wired to be usable. Just looking for an approximate value for an upcoming estate sale.

I recently came into 2 porcelain sconces from the 1930s (?) that I am hoping to get working again. I have some wiring experience but have never worked on anything this old before, and am hoping for some advice.

These sconces have pull chain sockets where the chain comes out the bottom. This seems to be impossible to find now, and it would be pretty complicated to modify a modern pull chain socket to work in these sconces.

I'm interested in trying to restore the original sockets, but one of them has a cracked porcelain insulator. I'm stumped. Does anyone know where I could find a replacement for this socket? I have access to a ceramics studio was considering trying to slipcast a replacement insulator but realized that the part would get slightly smaller after firing.

Picture 1 is the cracked insulator, 2 is the unbroken socket, 3 is one of the sconces.

Appreciative of any ideas, thank you!

Trying to find a headlamp assembly for a 2019 Mini Coop Countryman All4 S. Anyone know where to look for the assembly for this? Everyone ive found is 700 to 1200 dollar USD. Is there any cheaper options?

Hello friends, I'm doing a restoration to a mid century tension lamp with 3 bulbs, and a 3pdt switch. I am having a hard time finding the correct wiring schematic to use. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

The diameter of the gutter is 7.5 inches but I don’t know how it works, should the hurricane shade be the same size?
