Found a perfect vintage lamp at the swap meet, but the cord was a total fire hazard.

Smart move. A melted plug is a pretty convincing argument.

That melted toaster cord story from @the_cora is scary, but I've fixed up a lot of old cords safely.

Honestly used to just wrap old cords in electrical tape and call it a day. Then a buddy showed me his toaster cord that had melted through inside the plug, just from normal use. Now any sketchy wire gets replaced before I even plug it in. It's not worth the risk for a cool find.
