Good that you found what you needed.  I get most of my electrical stuff at Radio Shack,  Wire End Connectors,  Terminal strips or Barrier Strips ( I lost count of how many I have under my layout ) ......... Relays,  Capacitors - Resistors - bulbs and LED's - etc ....    

  But wire in bulk ( 100 ft Rolls ) I get at Home Depot or Lowes.

Personally, I'd consider illuminating with LED's, much less power draw, and you don't have any risk of melting anything with the lamp. :)

ROZY,

 Nope not my issue but I have seen where a lot of others have had it. If you contact jeffery-wimberly here on the post he knows how to fix it. Something about an icon that looks like a piece of torn paper or something.

. My Computer is so old it is still a PC.

Thanks Kev & everyone that responded to a blank ? Were you the one that also was having problems posting using Internet Explorer ?. I wound up using Foxfire & it worked fine.

                                                                                                                       Thanks

First let me apologize for the blank post. I tried several times to post my ?, & it would not go through. Another forum member wrote that he was having the same problem using Internet Explorer.

 In the February issue on page 68  in the Wiring article they show upright bulb sockets with screw connectors. I really like that type, does anyone know where these are available ? Thanks in advance for your replies.
