[SML] Replacing burned lamp sockets

[PATRICK MCCREARY]

If you're talking about medium pre-focus sockets, in a relatively common 
fixture, try to get hold of some Hubbell-Bryant #3742. I've had bad 
experiences with most other versions of the sockets, but those seem to 
be of the best quality, and rarely go bad.
