I bet Utube probably has some instructional repair video's also.

I made several lamp on lathe's. Lamp kits are available and lots of options (styles and colors). You know all lamps kits are made in china. I think Some the threads on the bulb socket are made to the wrong pitch makes the bulbs hard to screw in and out sometimes.
You hit the nail on the head with the bulb being hard to screw in. We didn't realize this because the lamps had bulbs in them when we bought them.
