John, as you may have noticed I am working on a 37-61 at present. It is AMAZING how different that one little number, from 61 to 62 makes them. Best of luck with the restoration. I am waiting on some parts myself. My dial lamp was not as fortunate as yours, so I am going to have to rebuild it. I have been thinking about making a small piece of paper micarta board using 2 part epoxy and paper, then just cutting the little ring I need, and using a brass eyelet from a craft shop as the contact, or just running the bare part of the wire through up to the insulation, and using a curl of the wire and a solder blob. I know Ron has posted his method, but I am going to see how my own idea turns out. Anyway, it is great to watch your progress.
