I was wondering how you could get two levels of brightness out of that
switch the way it is wired. I never noticed a carbon block on the switch
so it must fallen off in the past. I suppose a resistor could replace it
but I have no idea what value to use or what contacts to put it across. I
will probably just replace the switch with an on-off switch.
Thanks,
Joe
