Missing part of a lamp
Posted by alumni72 on Sunday, July 8, 2007 2:03 AM

I have an old (well, I got it back in the late 80's) fluorescent lamp with magnifying lens  (the fluorescent bulb is circular in shape and the lens is located inside of it) - my eyes are fading fast and this would be a very helpful item, but the clamp base for it has gone missing.  I have no idea where it went to, but I'd like to locate a replacement for it.  The bottom of the lamp itself is a large, heavy square (I suppose it's the ballast for the fluorescent bulb) so the clamp would have to be rather on the large & strong side.  Does anyone know where I can get one?  Buying it is not a problem - it's just finding it that is the challenge!

Thanks!

Whats gonna suck is if getting the replacement part is a significant payment towards a new lamp.

Hey does it look like this one?

 

If so I am needing the clamp base as well. Found this oldy in the basement when I moved last month. Had to open it up and rewire the switch on it. I'm a millwright by trade so think I'll fab a clamp base. Gimme a few days and I'll see how mine turns out. If it works ok I'll make you one too.
