Maybe I'll stop by that little junk/antique shop and take pictures. They are spray painting old SM with neon green or purple and selling them. I mean, they take off the cords and everything get several coats. I rescued a MW for $12. Not sure I can go back there.

I'm sure we could work something out. I can always go get it and ship it sans lamp.
I'm all for saving what can be saved.

I was going to say Heart of Ohio but looks like both locations might be called that. I'm a local so it's "the one by the fairgrounds" instead of "the one owned by Bruce Knight (in Harmony)".

I love shopping in these places, even if I don't buy anything.
