I have an Edison shaver which functions quite well, except the light doesn't work. I've tried a few bulbs, to no avail. It's not a big deal, I know, but would be nice if it worked. There are two wires which run up to near the base of the light, one is connected and the other is just hanging in space. I assume the problem is that one needs to be connected, but I've no idea where to connect it! Any help would be appreciated. I don't want to ruin the machine for the sake of a light by hooking it up incorrectly.
Pictures included. Sorry for the poor quality.
Thanks.

Re: Edison Utility Shaver Light question
Your light was an option however I looked at the wiring in my Utility Shaver, and if the light is a 120/240 volt light bulb, the two wires coming from the power cord go into the junction block, one leg of the 110 goes to the top and the other to the bottom You want to attach the wire to the top row, it looks like in your picture The opposite leg that the other is hooked to. I would carefully take the work light apart and check all wires, as any touching the conduit could shock you, as it makes you wonder why the wire was disconnected in the first place.

Re: Edison Utility Shaver Light question
The later shavers have a built in light in the shaver head, like my Master Shaver from 1940. Utility shavers did not always have a light, it was an option. I am always looking for shavers, I can never have to many of them. My Edison (I only use Edison) machines get over 15 hours or more a week during the summer. Last year over 400 new wax cylinders were sold. I am though now using a process that Chuck Richards taught me, so my output will be much less but of even higher quality, as the wax and mould must be heated to 232 C. Also a portionwise temperature and time addition chart is used. Any blanks or recordings I will be selling will be only what I make not orders, will just have a buy it now option on my page for blanks and records. I do not make custom records, as I work 48 hours a week at a factory. Well leave that for someone else to do.
