Any suggestions to find replacements for this electric style faux gas lamp. It's a 6 light candlebra. I only want to replace. The main electrical piece... not the entire gas lamp. The gas lamp is a mid 1970's that is pretty cool and want to try and salvage.

Evening Rocks, long time.
If it was wired once, it can be done again. Those lamps burn hot and do just what you have a lot. Should have and access opening at the bottom of where the tubes feeding the sockets come from. Open it and you can possibly get some slack to just replace the sockets.
Good luck and let us know how it goes.

I would suggest led bulbs if you are able to fix it

After further looking, what is really damaged? The lightbulb bases? rewire?

Looks like one of the sockets is melted/burnt
