We're awaiting the arrival of another Gamma 6 lantern, this time it's got the gear for an MV lamp. ![Tubular MV :mv-t:](/Smileys/default/mvtubularbulbicon.png) So I'll need to order another post to mount it on, then it will sit at the other side of our sofa. ![Cool 8)](/Smileys/default/cool.gif) Unfortunately there is a slight crack in the refractor, so if anyone can point us in the direction of a replacement, we'd be very grateful. ![Kiss :-*](/Smileys/default/kiss.gif)

Update: Our favourite courier driver delivered the lantern tonight, by the time it got acclimatised it was too late to fire him up, so that will be done tomorrow. ![Mercury Vapor Lamp :a_mv:](/Smileys/default/a_mv.png)

Gary had his first lighting today, though Ria did have to do a partial rewire first, as the chap who had restored it hadn't left long enough wires on it. ![Wonder :wndr:](/Smileys/default/Wonder.gif)

I've had a look at the website of the company that sells the post that we need, and have left a message for them to get in touch with me. ![Smiley :)](/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

They have been in touch, and we will have to buy the next size of post up, as getting a one off custom post would cost too much,

UPDATE:I finally got round to ordering the post late yesterday, and had a notification that it had been dispatched at 18:15. ![Wonder :wndr:](/Smileys/default/Wonder.gif) Delivery should take 2 to 3 working days, so we were very surprised when there was a knock on the door at about 13:45 today. ![Mind Blown :poof:](/Smileys/default/Mind_Blown.gif) There stood a courier with the post in his hands and a very baffled look on his face. ![LOL :lol:](/Smileys/default/lmao.gif.gif) Our next job will be to cut a bit off the length of it, as it's a bit long too stand up and leave room to put Gary on top. EDITI have just worked it out, it was about 19 1/2 hours from dispatch to delivery. ![Cool 8)](/Smileys/default/cool.gif)
