<p>[QUOTE="OldSoftware, post: 568400, member: 10404"]I have an antique floor lamp, Rembrandt Lamp Corp of Chicago that has a Appleton Electric reel winder in the base to pull the lamp cord into a reel. A rabbit chewed the cord in to and now the reel/winder, like a blind does, won't pull in the excess lamp cord. It appears the spring and probably the catch needs reset if there is one.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have it apart and it is held together with a large rivet in the center with the electrical connection so you cannot open the reel without breaking the rivet. It will take some skill to fix. I would replace it but web searches have not been successful for the part.</p><p><br /></p><p>I need a recommendation on who might be able to repair. The easy solution is to forget the reel/winder but I'd like to fix it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
