Default Re: Vintage Christmas Tree lights

See the picture below for instructions on how to find a defective lamp! I should point out that this is an early American 120V set. Do not do this at home. Today's Health and Safety people would go ballistic.

If you can't read the text on the picture, I have typed it out below . . .



TO LOCATE A DEFECTIVE LAMP.

1. Turn on the electric current and make sure the lamps are screwed in tightly.

2. Take out the lamp and insert a piece of metal into the socket, either a screwdriver or nail. If upon inserting this piece of metal, the other seven lamps light, you have located the defective lamp.

3. If the outfit does not light, screw back the first lamp tightly and remove the second lamp, perform the same operation until you get seven lamps to light.
