Brad - MANY THANKS for these instructions! I've used them to rewire the Mathmos Anniversary lamps. This keyless plate socket looks great, and it's the perfect size and height for the common A15 40w bulbs!
Dude, your blue Astro is gorgeous! I love it!
no prob! i wrote this guide back in 2009 and hoped it would be useful!
It was very useful!
Of note, the R14 40w bulb you used in this rewire is the IDEAL bulb to use for a rewired Astro. The A15 40w clear or frosted bulbs cause the Mathmos wax to heat up too much after awhile. Wth the R14 bulb. the wax maintains a beautiful flow for hours.
Thanks again.
good to know, kirk! glad it's working for you. you never know if these type of mods will work for others, so i'm glad to hear about your success. merry christmas and happy holidays.
I'm going to use this for my Astro that I'm ordering though forward2me. Seems simple

I'm so glad I found this post. I bought a used older astro base and cap off someone here and figured I could use that to make sure I can rewire these. If it works well, I'll be re-wiring the newer astro I have coming directly from Mathmos :).
