I acquired a Gino Saffarti Areteleuce articulating floor lamp & there is a chrome "end cap" missing from the counter weight.
This seems to be rather common,several examples I've seen @ various dealers have had this piece missing. I was wondering if there is a source for this piece.
Machine Shop
It would be relatively easy for anyone with a machine lathe to turn a piece of aluminium stock into something that is very close to that end cap. Make a quick drawing, measure the threads, and look in the yellow pages for a local machine shop. You might even find someone willing to do it for a case of beer.
Try Mark McDonald...He has...
Try Mark McDonald...He has made a similar lamp that uses these end caps. I purchased two from him several years ago for my lamp and they were a perfect match. I'm assuming he will still sell them.
OK, so I just looked at his website and didn't see the lamps and also can't find the thin edge cabinets that he was reproducing...Maybe I'm thinking of someone else?
