Hi Everyone So, there I am in the local Antique Centre, and I find a rather forlorn lamp hiding behind a pile of other junk. Closer inspection revealed a power cord disappearing into the fount, and a household bulb holder loosely stuck to the top of the control cock with sellotape! Quality conversion this one! As I was pondering the dilemma, do I? Don't I? I've already got a 300X and a 305, the Owner wandered by and said I could have it for £12 because a customer had broken the glass the previous week. Dilemma solved, another one rescued, albeit one that would never run on Paraffin again! We were in Norfolk a couple of weeks later for a short break, and I found a lovely Hardware Store in Sheringham, where they were able to supply me with everything I needed to revisit the conversion - Brass Bulb Holder properly soldered on, with an LED Bulb. This, I have to say, is the only one of my lamps that is allowed in the house, I think it produces a wonderful ambience, especially with its hat on, and I'm really quite proud of it. My Wife loves it too! Fear not though, I'll not be making a habit of it though!
Sheringham? coo, been a while since iv bin trampin around those parts now? remember takin the little uns fishin fer the gillie crabs at Blakeney an out to see th seals at Blakeney Point .. Bishops Boats as i recall
Thanks for the comments everyone - Wasn't sure what kind of reception I'd get sharing something so controversial! @podbros - 100% correct on all points! We love it over there! Best Regards Mark H
