Switched Neutral
Switched Neutral
I ran across a house in Mass. built in 1951. For a very short time code allowed switching of the neutral. Scratched by head trouble shooting until an old salt filled me in.

Sparky, next time try this trick:Sparky in Fl said:
Plug a 3-wire extension cord into a known-properly-wired receptacle, and carry the other end and a solenoid-type voltage tester around with you.
This gives you hot, neutral, and ground references to test your mystery against.
