This is the new lamp now in progress. The base is an old gas pump meter I bought at a garage sale. I bought a rotisserie from the grill department at Home Depot, took it apart and used the motor to turn the numbers. I had to weld a housing together and custom make a shaft to go from the motor to the meter's input rod.
From here I will run some super bright led's to light the numbers on the front and wire in a 12" long Edison replica bulb into the glass tank. This should be a neat one when it is finished.
After this lamp I have another one planned, and will have it available at this upcoming Pecan St. Festival.
