- Rewire: How to Rewire Antique Lamp| Strathroy Antique MallRewire An Antique Plug in Lamp from start to finish, Step by step. diy brought to you by Strathroy Antique Mall.
In the past, I have connected the old wire to the new wire, so that when I pull the old wire out of the lamp, the new wire is automatically fed through. It doesn't work in all applications, but when it does, it is so helpful.
Thank you for showing your struggles instead of skipping over it to make the video more perfectly Hollywood. It’s important to see what you might run into when doing it on your own.
Wow... a screwdriver? Gouging that lamp up!
All silliness aside, great video. This totally helped me repair an 80 year old lamp.
Thanks!
Thanks so much! My lamp I need this for is also antique double pull chain. I love how everything didn't go perfectly and he worked it out as we will all do.
Glad you got something from the video. Hope it works out well in the end!
Thank you for this video! I successfully rewired a new to me lamp thanks to your video and advice!
very nice video. I bought a capodimonte chandelier and its has to be refurbished. itis 5 branch chandelier . I will have someone with electrical abilities to help me put it back in shape. thank you so much for showing us the right way to do it and being careful
Hi, thank you for your video. I am confused about one very important part that you didn't explain: When you bundled the three wires together, it looked like you randomly separated the three wires. Did you not have to separate the pos & neg wires and bundle them accordingly? I was bundling wires for a situation very similar to yours (2 sockets), and although I was trying to be as careful as possible, got the wires switched and blew out a GCFI outlet. I had to call an Electrician, and she said that it sounded like a wire got switched somehow. I wanted to watch your approach to figure out where I went wrong. Looking at separating the three wires without an explanation puzzled me.
Also, I was watching when you dismantled the original sockets, and the cardboard insulators looked like they were brittle, and were flaking. Why didn't you replace the brittle insulators as long as you were going through the effort to do the complicated wiring? Just curious.
"Join the socket cords to the lamp cord: At the center wire connection housing, join together the three neutral wires (the portion of the cord with faint ridges on the jacket) by twisting the bare ends together and screwing a wire nut over the bare ends. Do the same with the hot wires (this is the portion of the cord that has smooth insulation). The hot and neutral wires from the main lamp cord are now attached to the hot and neutral wires running to each of the sockets."
Very detailed video, really helpful, THANK YOU!
Thanks a million. Have the same issue, only one chain missing. Great video!!
No Problem. Glad it worked :)
She's a beautiful old lamp, I wonder if it's a little bit top heavy? Great video!
Pretty sure the shade was never a ceiling shade. More likely the hooks were for hanging pendants.
My lamp has 5 sockets, can i split the one new cord(wire) 5 ways ? Interesting to watch & learn. Beautiful Lamp 👍
Thank You 💡🔌👏
Next time, could you talk about polarity. Did you wire hot to hot, neutral to hot or what? Also listen to your camera-all that beeping was telling you -insufficient lighting. Film away from the window. Thanks for showing two sockets with one wire.
