HERE I AM OFFERING UP A PAIR OF MY VINTAGE \"PORSCHE DESIGN\" TABLE LIGHTS FROM PAF OF MILAN-ITALY.
THESE LAMPS ARE PERFECTLY MATCHED AND RUN ON A STANDARD 120 VOLT USA POWER CORD (USA PLUG).
THESE LAMPS WERE WAY AHEAD OF THEIR TIME. THEY HAVE A FIRST EVER \"DIMBAR\" WHICH ALLOWED YOU, THE USER, THE ABILITY TO POWER DOWN THIS LIGHT (SHUT IT OFF) AND TO RE-POWER IT (TURN IT BACK ON) UP WITHOUT HAVING TO SEARCH OUT THE CORRECT BRIGHTNESS OF THE LAMP/LIGHT. IN OTHER WORDS IT KEPT THE LAST SETTING OF THE BRIGHTNESS WITHOUT YOU HAVING TO SEARCH IT OUT. I KNOW TODAY, THIS IS NOT A BIG THING, BUT BACK IN THE EARLY 1970\'S IT WAS REVOLUTIONARY!!
THIS \"DIMBAR\" IS THE GREEN BAR YOU SEE AT THE BASE OF THE INSIDE SECTION OF THIS LAMP. WHEN YOU DEPRESS THE LEFT SIDE OF THIS BAR, THE LIGHT WILL DECREASE THEN CONTINUE TILL IT\'S TOTALLY OFF AND THEN START TO GET BRIGHT AS YOU HOLD THE \"DIMBAR\" DOWN ...... THIS \"LOOP\" IS WHAT MADE THIS LIGHT POSSIBLE TO MEMORIZE IT\'S LAST SETTING! THE OPPOSITE WILL OCCUR WHEN THE RIGHT SIDE OF THIS \"DIMBAR\" IS DEPRESSED. IT WILL GO FROM A BRIGHT LIGHT DOWN TO \"OFF\" AND THEN BACK TO A BRIGHT LIGHT. A SIMPLY PUSH ON THIS BAR WILL EITHER TURN THE LAMP ON OR OFF ... DEPENDING ON IT\'S LAST SETTING.
FYI, THE \"PORSCHE DESIGN\" JAZZ LAMPS WHICH FEATURE THIS \"DIMBAR\" ARE CONSIDERED THE \"2ND GENERATION\" LIGHT AS THE \"1ST GENERATION\" HAS A RED \"LO/OFF/HI\" SWITCH AND DOES NOT FEATURE THE ABILITY TO \"DIM\".
IN ADDITION TO THIS \"FIRST EVER FEATURED DIMBAR\" THESE JAZZ LAMPS ARE ALSO TELESCOPIC AND CAN BE PULLED OUT OR EXTENDED ALMOST THREE TIMES IT\'S ORIGINAL LENGTH!
HERE IS WHERE YOU RUN INTO ISSUES WITH THESE LAMPS AS MANY FOLKS DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THESE LAMPS ARE CONSTRUCTED AND MORE OFTEN THEN NOT, THEY BREAK THE TWO (2) SETTING SCREWS ON IT\'S UNDERSIDE. THESE SET SCREWS ARE SORT OF LIKE A COUNTERBALANCE AND ALLOW YOU TO TIGHTEN THEM SO THE HEAD OF THESE LAMPS, WHEN FULLY EXTENDED, IS NOT TOP HEAVY AND FAILS (FALLS DOWN). THEY ARE MADE OF LEAD AND BEING SO, THEY ARE SOFT AND WILL FAIL IF ABUSED OR TIGHTENED TOO MUCH. WHICH IS NOT A GOOD THING AS THESE TWO (2) HINGES ALSO TRANSFER THE POWER UP AND INTO IT\'S TELESCOPIC ARM TO THE BULB.
AS YOU CAN SEE FROM MY PICTURES, NO CRACKS APPEAR ANYWHERE ON THE BASE AND AROUND THESE SET SCREWS. THESE SCREWS ARE HERE, BECAUSE IN TIME, YOU WILL HAVE TO MAKE A SLIGHT ADJUSTMENT TO KEEP THE HEAD ERECT AND UP. WHEN YOU DO HAVE TO DO THIS, A TINY TWIST ... LIKE A 1/10 TURN OF THIS SCREW IS ALL THAT IS NEEDED!! A HALF TURN WILL PROBABLY BREAK THE BASE AND NEAR THESE SET SCREWS YOU WILL SEE A STRESS CRACK FROM IT\'S FAILURE. THIS SIMPLY WEAKENS THE BASE AND MAKES IT HARDER TO IMPOSSIBLE FOR THIS LAMP TO BE FULLY EXTENDED AND REMAIN THAT WAY.
BOTH POWER CORDS ARE ORIGINAL AND THESE LAMPS ARE DESIGNED TO HOLD (OR CONCEAL) ALL (AS IN 100%) OF THE POWER CORD INSIDE OF IT\'S BASE (AS PICTURED).
BOTH BULBS ARE 12 VOLT AND IF I CAN LOCATE THEM, I WILL SEND YOU TWO (2) ADDITIONAL LED 12 VOLT LIGHT BULBS WHICH I PURCHASED A FEW YEARS AGO FOR THESE LAMPS .... BUT, IT\'S BEEN A FEW YEARS SINCE I\'VE LAST SEEN THESE, SO BEAR WITH ME IF THESE CAN NOT BE LOCATED!!
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO REVIEW ALL OF MY PICTURES. THESE LAMPS ARE IN THAT GOOD ALL AROUND CONDITION. IN THE PAST, THESE WERE PLACED INTO MY BEDROOM IN OUR SUMMERHOUSE. THEY SAT IDEL FOR DECADES TILL MY PARENTS MOVED TO FL. MY MOM WANTED ME TO HAVE THEM AS I WAS THE ONE WHO ORIGINALLY WANTED THEM AND ULTIMATELY BECAME THE \"PORSCHE FREAK\" THAT I AM!
THESE LAMPS LOOK LIKE THEY WILL FIT NICELY INTO A MEDIUM FLAT RATE USPS BOX, BUT, THIS I WILL NOT KNOW FOR CERTAIN TILL I PACK THEM.
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WANT ONLY A SINGLE \"PORSCHE DESIGN\" JAZZ LAMP, I HAVE ONE OF THESE IN HOUSE AS WELL! IF IT\'S NOT LISTED, SIMPLY ASK ABOUT IT IF IT\'S WHAT YOUR SEARCHING OUT. IT\'S IDENTICAL TO THE ONES LISTED HERE. HOPEFULLY, IN TIME, I\'LL GET AROUND TO LISTING IT!!
THESE LAMPS WILL NOT BE OFFERED WORLDWIDE DUE TO IT\'S POWER INTAKE OF 120 VOLT. MANY COUNTRIES WITH 220 VOLT WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO USE THESE LAMPS.
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATIONS ON THIS VINTAGE PAIR (OR SET) OF MATCHING \"PORSCHE DESIGN\" JAZZ TABLE LAMPS MADE BY PAF FOR \"PORSCHE DESIGN\".JOE
