However, thanks to the link on your old site to Wrapables, I've managed to get one that we both really like. http://www.wrapables.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=A55072&cate3=010502 All the gears move and it looks amazing! Love it love it! So thank you in an indirect way.

I actually work for a lighting store, but since we mostly carry modern stuff I came up empty when looking at what we carry. The biggest problem is actually finding the recessed electic receptacle I need. Maybe a lighting store that sells antique lighting, etc. would have the right part...

Is yours an original or reproduction? I claimed the one hanging in my grandparents' kitchen house when they sold their house, but it's one of the originals from '50's and plugs directly into the wall. I can't find the right recessed outlet to have installed so that I can hang it... thought maybe you'd know what to do? Grace,
