We have a lamp that suddenly stopped working. I figured a short somewhere c ause the bulb would go on an off on its own. The same thing would happen wh en i tried other bulbs. I wanted to get rid of it and not waste time on it, but the wife loves it for sentimental reasons. I took it apart and there i s shown 4 wires...a pair of each going to the screws of the socket. The pro blem is that they are short that it would be a problem to attach them to th e screws, maybe that was why it shorted? Anyhow I had the same extra wire a nd cut off 4 strips to add to each of those wires with tape, but it was awk ward to say the least. Is there anyone here that knows a way around this, o ther than discarding it? LOL BTW, the addition also could not be long cause it has to be cradeled into that socket and there would hardly be any room for long wiring. Also, out of curiousity, can one use a 3 way bulb into a l amp made for single light?
