[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 3171053, member: 29706"] I actually have modernized a bunch of old fixtures and love to do it. One of the ones I remember very well was an old above the sink style fixture for a bathroom. Porcelain and glass, the wiring was so old that it was paper covered and almost completely rotten/flaking off. Got some new wiring and after taking it apart I replaced it all as well as put in a new pull chain switch and put it back into the bathroom. I would love to see some pictures of what inside of the bell looks like on this one as it may be just as easy to knock out what is there and replace it with a simple porcelain bulb holder to make it work as a modern fixture and not have the need to break the bell away from the base. And I would hate to see the fixture break due to stressing it trying to split it apart. [/QUOTE]
