This post the eight steps on how the lamp was put together with new electrical parts.
This is the second post for the rewiring of this lamp.
Step 1: Fig.1 shows the last post "How to Rewire a
Lamp - Part 1 of 2 - Taking Apart the Lamp!" the porcelain lamp completely devoid of electrical wiring.
Step 2: Fig.2 shows the old twisted wire still in the lamp.
Fig.3 shows a string attached to the old wire so the string will be pulled into the lamp.
Fig.4 shows that the string needs to be pulled to get the old wire out and the new wire into the lamp.
