Depending on what it cost I think I would bring it home and at least make it look like a decent lamp. Of course they've probably destroyed it by sanding so they could paint it. Hope Karma paid them a visit in the process.

I'm waiting to see what Steve says. It may not be a goner. The box is tall enough that the underside may be still intact and they drilled thru the slide plate, not the base itself.
I hate the fact that they painted everything including the bobbin though.
Reminds me of Mr. Bean painting his apartment.

EDIT: I had a second look. Looks like the tension and spool pin have been hack sawn off. That doesn't help.
