Not on the web, but I believe Home Depot and lowes have replace ment
parts. Give them a call for traveling over.

If it were only that simple. I haven't checked Lowes, actually, but
the guy at Home Depot looked at me like I was crazy. They have lots of
basic brass lamp fittings but nothing like I'm looking for. I may try
Lowe's.

In the mean time, a different search found http://www.jalanes.com/
which has a "bakelite socket with lock ring". But their website isn't
very good and I haven't been able to order one or see how much it would
cost to ship.
