blazenut Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 I'm assuming it's an old switch? (didn't work) Any ideas? Click to Enlarge 41.26 KB Click to Enlarge 36.67 KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 It's a rotational light switch. See 'em every once in a while. I don't think there's anything wrong with them other than the fact that you have to actually grip it and turn it. OT - OF!!! M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazenut Posted February 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Yea, since it was hooked up to some OLD knob and tube, I didn't want to even touch it! (and it didnt work). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I find old switches like that it sends up the Red Flag to really start looking for that pesky K&T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy_Bob Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Reminds me of my grandma who was born in the late 1800's. When I was a kid, we would be at her house running around the rooms turning on those round light switches. Then she would come along and say "close it". (Turn off the light.) She used that terminology because she grew up with kerosene lamps. And to turn them off, you would "close it"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
