1,500 sounds like a fair price. Lot of work and time goes into changing those, taking everything appart in the right order and re-assembling everything correctly. It looks like something that can be done in 3 or 4 hours but it never seems to go that way for me. Once I start, I decide to tumble or polish stuff while Its in pieces. And if it has those stapled in lamp sockets, I need to limit how much time I work before I go insane.
