Stumbled on a dead forum from 2003 about rewiring lamps
Was fixing a thrift store lamp last weekend and dug up this old forum called LampRepairHQ that hasn't had a new post since 2004. Some guy named 'SparkyMike' wrote a 3 paragraph guide on fixing a 1960s brass floor lamp using a paperclip as a test tool. I followed his steps and it actually worked. Made me wonder how many other old dead sites still hold hidden gems. Anybody else ever trust advice from a 20 year old forum post?

A paperclip is legit for testing continuity, SparkyMike knew his stuff.
