Dave, Re-read my post. There is only one traveler and hot and neutral on both ends. You cannot make the light come on from jumpering wires on one end. It's not at all wired like any acceptable 3-way configurations. I am aware that it is wrong now as it has been for the last 70 years. It can't be fixed without ripping out a 14' plaster and lath ceiling and part of a wall. I was just wondering if anyone else runs into this and if it was common practice in years gone by. They used to fuse the neutral in houses of this era. Was that ever considered proper?
