Hello everyone. Please allow a quick introduction, my name is Victor and I have for some years been collecting vintage turntables, as well as many random items, hence my name here.

Some years ago I bought a Cavendish which had been rewired with a modern AC cord. I used it briefly and it has since just sat on a shelf. My question is whether the fan and light bulb should always be on with no way, apart from at its plug, to switch it off.

I have read all the threads here and saw a helpful photograph showing the wiring arrangement. Mine appears to be wired in exactly the same way.

I am able to select the fan and bulb on its own and able to select the 1k and 2k, but the bulb and fan are always on.

Many thanks in advance for any advice on this.
