Ron,
I took the liberty of copying your post to the RFI list.
Very knowlegeable
and helpful Hams there.
My recollection is that touch-lamps have always been a
nightmare for RFI.
I don't know that there is a cure.
You might try several turns of the AC cord around a toroid
and maybe some
bypass caps on the circuit board.
The problem is that the circuit uses the metal base of the
lamp as a form of
capacitive "antenna", making it difficult to tame the beast
without disabling the
"touch" feature of the lamp.
BTW: Have you tried a http://ixquick.com or
http://clusty.com search?
You might include QST in your search as someone may have
sent them a cure
to publish.
