Gumball Head - New Socket Assembly
|
Well, after getting the old socket out of my gumball it seems that it has been stuck by lightning at some point as some of the original brass screws on the socket had melted. I still have the original socket assembly though.
Since getting a new socket assembly would probably be next to impossible I decided to make a new socket assembly for it using off the shelf parts. I used a standard mogul socket and attached it in the head using a custom bracket made from strip aluminium. I also added in a new terminal block and a ground lug. The lamp is a 200w mogul based frosted Duro-Test I found at Restore.
