Onwards with the testing:- As mentioned before - I have tested both toothbrushes on an adapter plug and they both work. I have just wired both shaver sockets in turn to a three point plug to try and remove the mains wiring from the equation. If the plug worked then the mains wiring would...

ok thanks for the info. We only have the two toothbrush appliances tested already (no shavers). I think I need to find a way of testing the output.

Agree this would be a good test but - No - I have not checked this conclusively due to logistics of being able to both open the socket pin cover, activate the transformer on switch and make a good contact with my probes eg test was inconclusive :-( I also do not have a spare 2 pin plug I...
