Basic electronics help?

[lilfluff]

Anyone local willing to share some basic household electrical skills? I have a lamp with a busted socket switch that I would like to fix instead of throwing out. Skimming through some web pages this looks like a pretty simple task. That said, I'd prefer to have someone with experience ready to slap me up the back of the head if I started to do anything stupid.

I've already swapped it out for another lamp (rather plain blah one, which I have only kept because it has some family history).

The various sites I've found do make it look pretty easy. When I looked up prices last night I did see that the prices aren't that high. Pretty cheap. I think I'll change it over to a push-through switch. At least change it to something other than a three-way switch (I've switched most of them over to fluorescent bulbs anyway, which don't do three way).
