I inherited my grandparent’s home (circa 1915) which has been remodeled many times. The kitchen has something like a 4121 pull down brass with holes light, but it also has an upper portion that supports two additional bulbs that shine towards the ceiling covered by another brass shade. The gold pull down cord covering is quite worn and ratty looking. Have you found any way to replace or repair the cords. Also, I think there used to be a wooden knob cover that switches between upper, lower and all bulbs. I imagine it will be next to impossible to replace the knob? any suggestions? Ebay is very lean these days even though your page and posts seem to have recommended it before.

Hey! I was born in 1959, my name is Pamela, I own a 1959 ranch house in Sacramento and I HAVE A PULL DOWN LIGHT EXACTLY LIKE YOURS!! I saw the picture of your site profiled on a WordPress Thesis site. I can’t bear to part with this light although it’s not fitting in with my design theme…. it may be relocated to another part of the house…unless I get the “right offer”… ha ha
