Follow up to dynamo tail lamp on a folder

Yes folks--it was just a plain old screw in bulb. Silly me. It being
the future and everything, I couldn't just get one here in the Holler.
However, Mr. Muzi, friend to dynamos, sorted me out! Today, a letter--
Priority Mail no less, came with not only a tail lamp, but a spare,
and a spare head lamp as well!

I pulled new wire, which took a good hour as it's routed internally
and it kept hanging up on whatever creatures were in the tube, and
after another half hour of emery paper and contact cleaner, that tail
lamp finally lit up! Wahoo! Christmas! That thing hasn't lit up
probably since 1970.

Gerta's gonna be very happy. All done pro bono--ya can't charge for
something this crusty. ;-)

Indeed. A job well done.
