Okay guys, I need help. I have two antique lamps which use three-way mogul base bulbs. I need a couple of adapters from mogul to standard base. I can find single screw-in adapters for around $5, but I cannot locate any THREE-WAY adapters. Does anyone know where I can find some?
I an rewiring the lamps and thought about changing the socket, BUT the way the old lamps are made, there are no new three way sockets that will fit. The old three way switch and socket are large ceramic units that attach from the bottom with screws. Plus, that would devalue the antique.
As an alternate to buying pre-made adapters, I would pay someone with the skills about $10-$15 each for a couple of adapters. I thought that someone could take an old three-way bulb and remove the glass, then use two short pieces of wire and some epoxy to solder a couple of leads from the inside of the bulb base to the bottom of a bare standard socket, and then epoxy them together. If anyone would take on this project for that price, let me know. Thanks.
