My wife bought some new lamps for the bedroom a couple of years ago.
They were not inexpensive by any means. But they were cheap.
She had to switch them around after a few months because the cheapo socket wore out on the first one.
Last week, the second lamp went out because the switch/socket wore out.
She was down to using a floor lamp to try to read with. Not the best choice.
Anyway, she asked me if I could fix her lamps so she didn't have to buy new ones.
New lamps are $258 each. No joke. I'm not talking about luxurious, crystal lamps by any means.
Just regular bedroom lamps.
Anyway, I went to my local Mom & Pop hardware store & got some new sockets. $6 each.
I changed out the old sockets & fixed her lamps in a few hours.
The old sockets were so cheap, they fell apart in my hands when I took them off.
It's lucky we didn't burn down the house because of them.
She's happy she didn't have to throw away almost $600 for new lamps.
She's happy, so am I.
