This is NOT a question about specialist skilled sparkie wiring. This is simply about how to get the new cord up this table lamp. To say that it is vexing me would be putting it mildly. Will cord lubricant help? Or even silicon lubricant? Note there is a curve at the neck of the dragon. Cord channel appears to be M10 width. New cable will get up may 4cm, and then snag and eventually come away from the old cord. How can I do this? Importantly, will cord or silicon lubricant damage what is probably unfinished unvarnished wood cord channel inside? This is a 1960s article. And the new cord has a fabric covering to match the colour of the lamp stand. So, what will cord/silicon lubricant do to unvarnished wood, and the outer fabric of the cord?
Hi @R4addZ
"soldering the cables together as it eliminates the friction grab"
You are an experienced Cabler (Cable Guy?) @R4addZ , if you feel soldering is the way to go, then by all means @MaxBrenner should give it a go.
Good luck mate.
"It's hard to get a scale"
2mm diameter forcep - around 1.5 mm for the flexible cable.
Well, that's (literally) my 5c thought.
Cheers!
