Discuss Old original period light switches , condition report. in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Yeah its the type that are held on by the threaded ring around the toggle only...

In that case I would take them out, clean them up and insert new flash cards (they were supposed to be fitted at the time but its one of those things 'back in the day' sparks never did....like bonding ;) ) and they'll be fine.

I've been taking loads out lately and in most cases (some had lost their spring/ holding action etc) I saw no reason why they could not remain in service
