Just what I needed

My wife has an antique lamp that needed repairing. I had to keep it as close to the original as possible as it is a family keepsake. The wiring was worn out and needed replacing, so I ordered this setup. You can't even tell it's been remounted because it looks old. The perfect replica.

Pros
  • Ideal for repairing or replacing old lamps
Cons
  • When in doubt

Very useful repair kit.

I used a similar lamp repair kit years ago. This and your instructions made the installation easy. The only problem I had was that the wires needed further stripping and I didn't have a stripping tool. I did it. They fixed the lamp that was in my wife's house when she was growing up. She was very happy with the results and quite impressed with my "expertise".

Pros
  • Threaded nipple 1/8 IP and 1 inch length. Comes with wiring instructions.
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other picks

Simple kit but if you've never done it it would be nice to have instructions

belonged to my mother when she was a child . It didn't have proper instructions so it wasn't clear unless you knew what to do. I'm a teacher so I took it to our shop at school after watching a few videos online to make sure I was doing it right. It should have only taken me a few seconds to assemble it. But now that I've finished it, it works perfectly. however, it would be nice if it were accompanied by actual instructions that a person without a magnifying glass could read, and that would…

Pros
  • Includes 8ft 18G SPT-1 cable, mating socket, nipple, washer and two hex nuts
Cons
  • Lightly dented
