New Replacing all the sockets
My brother is gonna help us switch out the sockets in the kitchen soon, with better ones that don't bend and twist up.

But thanks for the tip!

New Just make damn sure the "new" ones
aren't *aluminum* (threaded part.. they wouldn't dare use it on the center conductor) Wait; yes, they Would. ie Look at the suckers before purchase.

Tip: run a candle across each new bulb (threaded base) before screwing it in. Seat it, back off and reseat - snug but not "as tight as you can get it before you twist off the wires inside". Prevents seizing.


Usually.
