[700rpm]

My original 1929 sockets work fine and have never been "restored". My repros all had to be reworked to get them to function, but eventually I got them to where they too worked fine. I buy originals whenever I find them at swap meets. I recently bought two of the ugliest light buckets I'd ever seen because they had original '28 sockets (and good fluted lenses) in them. The buckets are good for yard art and not much else. It's always best to keep or use original stuff if you can find it or already have it. Don't replace it just for the sake of a "total restoration", whatever that is.
