I have this 1920's lamp with three sockets I need to wire. The link
below leads to a picture of the top part of the lamp. The only parts
that can be removed are the sockets and the short curved pieces to which
they attach. The shaft can't be removed from the lamp. There is not
enough room in the ball at the top of the lamp for wire nuts, and I
can't get three pieces of lamp cord down through the shaft so I can make
the connections inside the lamp base. Any ideas how I can wire this?
Thanks.

Solder the wires and use head shrink tubing instead of wire nuts.

use head shrink tubing


Don't you have to order that from Africa or some place like that?


They have it a Home Depot, Radio Shack or All Electronics web site.

If you're going to make a funny, it's better if you get it right. G

Head shrinking was/is(?) a South American thing.
