[Help] Fixing a lamp (defo not football)

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

One of our kittens knocked this lamp off a table and it broke the lampshade off the base.

Upon inspection, it appears that the thread that holds the sdhade to the base has snapped - leaving only a thread on one side. This means when I reattched the shade it wobbles and can easily by knocked off.

I thought I'd be able to replace the lamp holder unit, but it appears to be integrated into the base. Do the great and the good of NSC have any ideas? I'd rather not throw away a whoile lamp if I can avoid it. Thanks.

I very much doubt it is integrated into the base, that's just not how manufacturing works these days. The top section looks like it could come off and be replaced.

Try unscrewing it. It's f*cked anyway so you've nothing to lose.

I reckon it unscrews like this example. If it doesn't perhaps call them and send a photo

Get lots of people to help you fix it, as many hands make light work.

Have you tried turning it on and off again?

As it’s Friday can we see a photo of your kitten?

Now 6 months old. They were feral until the rspca took then in. We've had them for a few weeks.

Lovely images, we had a black cat called Bertie, gentle in nature.
Now we have a rascal called Ziggy, keeping us on our toes

I'm worried that you won't be able to look at it in the same light ever again.

These two are called Otis and Milo. They are high speed furry destruction right now. Chasing moths being their favorite game.

Our Ziggy, who reacts to every full moon, going bat shit crazy, likes Magpies
