Thank you for all the suggestions. Good suggestions... but...
The warranty dept gave me the builder info but that didn't help. Apparently after 6 years it was so old that there are no replacement parts available.
Home Depot, Lowes, Ace all came up empty. It was curved so Ace couldn't cut a piece.
I called the Architectural Review Board about a lamp replacement and they said just try and get close and try and get the color close.
So, a trip to Pikes (?) in LSL and I got a close-out lamp on sale. They wanted $87 for someone to come out and install it! Yikes!
Took it home, my wife painted it, and my good neighbor came over and installed it in about 15 minutes. They'd been planning to "refresh" their old lamp-post so we gave them the freshly painted old lamp and 5 glass parts.
Now... back to the Villages Lifestyle!!!
Yes, I know this isn't that interesting... but I think threads should be wrapped up whenever possible.
