Default Touch lamps

Over the years I have amassed a collection of a dozen or so touch lamps

that don't work. Some were cheap and some weren't, most donated some I

bought. I haven't looked at any of them but now I could use a few and

some are really quite nice. I was thinking of just putting an in-line

switch on the cord and direct wiring the bulbs unless there is a

cheap-easy fix and a common denominator problem. I don't even know how

they work other than it's body capacitance or such.


Been a while since I've been here. Home Depot has the module for about $10. It's usually in the lamp parts section. But could be in the dimmer section.
