I had a bunch of old navy guys look at me funny when I mentioned berylium copper, apparently its navy speck for all electrical terminals. I imagine a big blade switch would be ideal for the materials. garagenc should know wher some is laying around. AS far as your lamps go, there is a place down here that makes them and has a high end retail store downtown on King St. Cheapest one I saw in the window was $450

I think I understand what "Thread jacking" is now. :-)
