Thanks. Have the electrician coming next month, for light installations. I'll get him to have a look, before I start playing around with it.If you feel so inclined, you can remove the rusty old electrical grip conduits. Just undo the screw clamp, and out they come. The cable inside, will be TRS - rubber, over covered with cotton, then waxed, dating back to before the 1960's.
Found a disconnected plug close by, about the same time period.
