To their credit, they seemed to be doing everything right from a collector's perspective. Working in brass and using older more aesthetically...
It's a shame, because they looked to be producing some very nice lamps. I guess the issue is that they are new lamps and possibly a different...
Easy solder job I would have though..blow torch rather than iron as the whole thing would need heating. Brighten with wire wool & use flux.
