I just bought a
1964 Streamline and have a question I hope someone can answer. There are 2 bulb sockets above the sink that are covered by a single rectangular cover. The socket on the left works, the one on the right does not. I bought a new socket and attempted to replace the old one but was surprised at what I found when I opened it all up. Rather than 2 or 3 Romex wires, there was only 1 fabric covered wire coming from behind the wall. The original socket also had a short 2nd wire that looked like it had been screwed to the metal junction box (but it was no longer screwed in). It reminded me of the wiring method for a
12 volt light. Did Streamlines come with a 12 v and a 110v at each light fixture? As far as I know, a 110v light can’t be powered this way. But then again, I’ve been wrong a couple of times before.
. Thanks for your help!
