Don’t be too handy – When the wife’s lamp, by her ‘spot’ stops working, try 2 bulbs in the lamp if the first one doesn’t work, it might be a bad bulb that you grabbed from “that box in the laundry room cupboard” and thought it would work, try another bulb before spending over $20 on lamp parts and rebuilding the lamp. It’s a part of being older and wiser I’m guessing
