Memlite Lamp restoration

[Mr Potts]

You sir are a gent of the first order! I shall look forward to receiving and finishing the lamp off, probably going to do away with the nyloc nuts currently fitted and tap the switch cover plate .....very much appreciated!

 

[Mr Potts]

Here we go all done and dusted thanks in no small way to 'Roys'. ...all working safely.....which is nice!

 

[roys]

Looks good, let's see the rest of it

Is that the 3mm plate you used?

 

[Mr Potts]

It is yes!

 

[roys]

Looks champion, that does.

 

[Mr Potts]

And another

Very Nice!

Like the paint too!

Spot on , well done to you both.

 

[Mr Potts]

Thanks chaps, I think the alloy plate looks better than the previous switch arrangement and it's now got a more definite earth for the switch! ...the paint is Hammerite dark green hammered brush. ..the whole lamp used less than a quarter of a tin!

Brings back fond memories of my grandad, he used to paint everything in hammerite hammered paint!

Congratulations, looks a treat. 

Does this mean you are now promoted to position of Professor Potts???

All it needs now is for you to create a small animated clip of it jumping around in the style of the Pixar studios, for us to use as the banner heading on the forum! (those older members will remember we used to have some dancing pylons several years ago). Very nice Mr Potts & Roys, thanks for posting the progress update.

Bit much on the kitchen utensils and the pet dog though.

[Mr Potts]

Funnily enough it was my grandad who introduced  me to Hammerite too!....I'm now eagerly looking for another lamp

 

[Mr Potts]

Oh dear I've found another lamp!

Is this the start of an addiction there may be medical help available?

Looking forward to seeing the progress you make on this one, just give me a shout if you need anything.

Unless he is turning all religious because he has 'seen the light, and it was good'

 

[Doc Hudson]

Possibly following doctors orders to do more regular light exercise.
