Here"s an electrical problem that"s got me confused. A few weeks ago I installed a fluorescent light in place of an incandescant light in my mom"s laundry room. The light is on a 3-way switch. With the incandescant, the 3 way switch worked fine. Now, with the fluorescent installed, you can turn the light on with either switch, but you have to use the same switch to turn it back off. If you try to use the other switch, the light will turn off for a split second and then come back on as soon as the switch travel is complete. The house was wired sometime in the 50"s or 60"s and there is only a black, white, and ground in the ceiling box. I haven"t pulled the switches out to see if they are really three way switches or if it is some type of jury rigged setup, but am headed down there tomorrow. What really has me confused is why it worked with the incandescant, but not the fluorescent.
One other thing, the kitchen has a fluorescent light and 3 way switch and it works exactly the same. It"s been that way ever since I can remember. We always knew it was wired incorrectly, but since there is no access above the ceiling to the wiring we left it alone.

To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
