It looks like the stage is electrocuting him for crimes against good taste (actually it was just the signal struggling..)
Coleman made CQ lamps in several variations from 1910's to late 1920's. Millions of them. A GREAT lamp, easy to work on, easy to use.
Two electrified CQ lamps from the Leonard Johnson Auction April 6, 2019. I figured I could make one lamp out of the two after adding some other parts I had purchased there as well.
BAD IDEA. Electrification of lamps can be done with some sensitivity so as to not create permanent damage. These were not them. I had originally hoped to resolder the fount of one and use best pieces to make a decent one, but i am not sure the fount is sound with all the solder rattling around in it - so - at the end - I have usable parts:
2 globe holders and the nut to hold them on the mixing tube
2 handlesassemblies (some minor damage)
1 valve complete
1 valve wheel and needle
1 repairable single patent air tube
1 R55 generator that may or may not be any good
1 Q99 generator that is probably good
An Education - not too expensive - and certainly useful!
I will hold onto the parts, and try to find a home for the poor founts
Worst part of it all - these were so poorly done that the person who did it may have been shocked by the electricity leaking from bad wiring (no bushings through sharp edges. Appear to have had little or no use. I suspect these were bought as parts lamps
This squirrel had been hanging on the wires above by its straightened arm. Obviously dead, perhaps by electrocution, it stayed there for days, and only worked loose in stormy winds.
Caught this moth in my fly trap, shot it at ten frames per second so there are quite a lot similar. Best viewed in slideshow
We had an unexpected power outage this past week when a rat snake decided to climb the telephone pole and make the wrong contact. The transformer fuse was blown and the snake got electrocuted. I've never seen a snake climb a telephone pole before. The sad part is that it was a rat snake, which isn't poisonous and they kill pests.

So Many eagles perch on the electrical poles but this can be very dangerous for them as electrocution is very possible

When I started, I only had turned off the circuit for this one room. But as soon as I grabbed the first couple of wires I got shocked. It turns out one of the sets of wires comes in from a different circuit to this location. After that I only worked on them when I had the entire house's power turned off.
