Pat,
Yeah, the lamps look great after I sprayed them with original paint color from Henning's Trains. Look terrific in a classic Christmas scene I intend to create. Even my wife approves! If the current draw is excessive, I thought I may have to replace them all with LEDS, but I would prefer not to go that route. I wonder if tear drop bulbs come in LEDs. That shape adds to the look of the lamps.
I am familiar with problems with original cords on old transformers, and did replace it on my ZW, but believe it or not, this cord looks fine. The indentation in the cord in the photo is where it runs through the wall of the unit, so not so unusual. If I open it up again, I may as well replace it. At the very least, I'll replace the plug.
Thanks again,
Michael
