Neat Doug.

Have you made/found a socket for the Edison Plugs?
Yes Charlie. The Edison plugs were designed to fit in a standard light bulb socket still used today.. A light bulb hanging from the kitchen ceiling was the first use of electricity in homes. People had to unscrew their light bulb to plug in these early electrical devices as they were being invented. I have an early Y adapter that allowed for the light bulb to remain installed while adding another device.
