rewire anglepoise lamp sorted by

relevance

Tighten up the knurled nut on the RHS of the lamp, half way up at the back hinge 3.

I am sure if you spray thinly you should be able to get a decent finish.

With a final polish by hand, re-assembly and rewiring was done.

Hope this helps, if you have any more questions post another comment and please let me know how you get on.

So may have to get all the gear to do this anyway.

5mm cores and is perfect for threading up through the narrow arms of a 1227 Anglepoise lamp.

… …added an inline switch and new plug — which I got from the recycling depot, so free — and pirated the springs off my Type 75, as I figured the older 1227 has seniority.

You can either spray my preferred choice it or brush the paint on, if spraying I would use a standard grey base coat primer found at any Car shop i.

For the time being I have taken the ones off my type 75 and will worry about getting them later.

Make sure you are a good distance away from the piece…start spraying OFF the lamp to avoid big blobs of paint when it starts spraying, then use smooth arm motions, spraying a light, even coat- let dry.
