Mine has small “snap dots” on the hips and the mating clips on the skirt. There was also different methods of coupling the upper and lower bodies, mine uses heavy steel staples. Whereas others use screws. Here’s photos of mine and I am attaching links to 2 repairs of the other style. From what I can see both styles used the same motor, perpendicular shafts and gear assemblies https://jpmoeller.com/2017/01/01/dodge-hula-girl-lamp-repair/ https://jpmoeller.com/2017/06/28/a-second-hula-girl-lamp/ Mahalo's for that info USAF.. My lamp unfortunately doesn't use the snaps, that looks way easier than how mine is.. In that second link that you posted on JP's blog the picture 2nd to last is exactly what mine looks like from behind without a skirt on.. Problem is nowhere can I find a good detailed photo of how the skirt is attached to those little prongs that I have on mine like in his picture.. :( I sent him a msg yesterday morning so I'm hoping he'll maybe get back to me and show me the way it's attached.. BTW, Great looking bar!! Aloha
