Hi-
I've been doing some remodeling work in my house, and I've run across a wiring situation that is unusual to me. I was having a problem which I believe I have solved with a new switch. My question is how safe is the original wiring.
Lights--[2 wire cable]--Box 1(3way)--[2 wire cable]--Box 2(4way)--[2 wire cable]--Box 3(3way)--[2 wire cable]--Hot
I am familiar with the correct way to wire a 3-way and 4-way switch (using a 3 lead cable), but this wiring is from the 60s and I just wanted to be sure that it wasn't a major problem.
Thanks,
Chris
