Something derekleffew might like... my new table lamp

[TupeloTechie]

So I finally made one of these...

That's it, lets lobby Dave to get a "Lamp Mods" forum added to CB 3.0.

Nice Work.

Nice lamp. I've gotta make a floor lamp out of our old monster-sized Kleigl that hangs on a pipe in the cats to remind people how well off they are now that we have S4s.

Now that's cute. I mean that in a manly, "Well done lad", sort of way.

I LOVE IT! Kudos, TupeloTechieKid. And even more interesting, I can't place the fixture. It's similar to the Kliegl 1365 or Altman 367...Aha, found it. It's an Altman 365/6x6, from the early 1960s, just like me! I hope you found it missing its yoke and lamp cap with asbestos-covered wiring, otherwise I couldn't approve of drilling a hole in the fixture.

That's funny I just scraped out 5 of these things. I kept the lenses of course because oddly enough, they fit a 6x9. I should post pic's of the fresnels in my movie theatre room. They're 65Q's with everything taken out and a lamp socket with a twist switch mounted axially to the back of the unit. They sit on floor bases pointing straight up. I also have enough parts to whip up about 3 360Q's converted to household lamps. I plan on taking some of my old dull reflectors and drilling them out to fit a medium screw base. I did one already and it actually focuses. I can probably even do shutters. The parts I have aren't really show worthy anymore but I could probably make them look nice with some black spray paint. I love household stage lighting projects! Can't say I've made the table lamp though.

It didn't come with the yoke, lamp cap, or lens, and the reflector was bent far beyond use, its also been repainted like 4-5 times, but it came free with some other stuff I bought off ebay.

Very well then. The power I have to influence younger minds is...[intoxicating? fear-inducing? exhilarating? astonishing? other?]

Now, is that table always carrying an array of paraphernalia?

Good, now I know that I'm not the only conspiracy theorist.
