Thanks! The hardest part of restorting vintage items is locating materials close to what was used on the original. We sometimes have to improvise as I did with the fringed gold cellophane. |

Thanks for sharing the restoration photos. I was just getting my supplies together to restore an old mirostar "spider" display as well as an old NOMA 20 light star. The wiring just became too brittle. You are absolutely right about how difficult it is to find the proper vintage materials to assemble. Great work! James Monday |
