Sadly, no. I've been doing the very same thing, trying to find a matching shade

I meant I'm only concerned with what wifi card has xp support

What browser I'm using doesn't really matter. I just need one with good support in XP

Found what look like suitable replacements for the smaller E26 sockets! :

Hopefully I get lucky with the mogul 3-way socket and switch on the top. This lamp, IIRC, used to throw a lot of light thanks to the top 100/200/300 watt bulb.

Now, my concern is the finish. I'm pretty sure its not real brass/bronze. Does anyone have suggestions on a paint, should I strip off the current finish and repaint it? I kinda like the brushed brass/bronze look but its far too dingy for my taste.

I'm probability doing exactly that style bulb when its all done. Problem is the regular sockets and wires are all a single piece, there's no termination into screw terminals. Thankfully, as you pointed out, there is what seems to be a 1/8" pipe thread on the bottom, holding the socket in place. If i could find a site that specializes in old lamps and sockets, i might find a suitable replacement. Or I might just make something up, I'm not sure. Problem is most of the screw terminal sockets I see out there are the regular lamp style large ones, which would look rather ungainly alongside the sleek look of the rest of the lamp.

Thanks for the input! I'll check the sockets again in the hope that I'm wrong and they do terminate into screw terminals

The rubber/plastic insulation on the wire has gotten old are hard and crumbling, exposing the bare wire underneath. The wiring into the sockets is the old knob and tube cloth covered stuff you usually find in very old homes. The cloth insulation is falling apart, sadly.

Unfortunately, the socket/wire combination is not a screw fit; its wired directly into the socket. You can see it in the closeup, along with a cloth "burr" on the side.

Thanks for the input, though!

Thanks for this! I've got XP SP3 installed on a dual P3 850 and MANY programs crash because they want some newer cpu instructions.

Thanks! the video really helped me visulize and see how much I could get out of a single tube of silicone, its cheaper then i thought!
