Hi all, Happy 4th. Quick question:

Do any of you have a source of -"Big Boy or Fat Boy" light sockets or the cardboard liners?

For years I have bought old lamps with the oversize sockets. I have stolen the paper insulators from lots of them and added the paper insulators other oversize new sockets.

I now have 2 old standing lamps with the old 'Fat Boy' sockets and wish to update them. The wiring is done but I need the paper insulators for these oversize sockets.

I cannot convert them to new sockets because of the way they are attached to the lamps. I have polished the lamps and sockets but have run out of old oversize sockets from which I could steal the insulating cardboard that is inside the socket.

Cannot find a source on-line for this item. Would buy 6 or more so that I could update the sockets I have in reserve.
Do you have a best source of parts for old fixtures?

My girls each want one of these lamps and I have rewired and cleaned both. Stuck on the socket problem. Any help would be appreciated.
