I believe they crossed the bridge to Brooklyn last summer. They carry a nice range of stuff including many ceramic lamp sockets.
quote:Originally posted by Alan Franzman: Note that although neither of those on the linked page will stand by itself, both have a threaded base which will fit onto standard threaded tubing (the bottom one either 1/4" or 3/8") used in lamps and available at most harware stores. You can simply make your own base by drilling a stepped hole into a board and fastening the socket with a short length of the tubing and a nut. I believe this is what Peter did, mounting several sockets onto a single long plank.[This message has been edited by Alan Franzman (edited June 14, 2003).]

In fact, it has been a couple of years - we should catch up off line by email.Might even make a trip to Michigan soon, my wife Judy and I went hunting for personal treasure (light bulbs, radio tubes and Television Cameras in my case) on the Highway 127 sale last August. We drove the route from Cincinnati down to Atlanta, where we air-shipped four pallets back to Silly-Con Valley!The "World's Longest Garage Sale" was a blast, and we're told it may head north into your part of the world.
