like i said above from some googling from gun forums in other states in it seems to be about 12 dollars a box but if i ever get back out there i will ask or buy a box and see

yeah whenever im out near academy at rivergate i try and stop and pick up a box or 2

so i stopped in at walmart in springfield and they did not have 54r

i wish but no, from what I read online it's about 12 dollars a box after tax

Not sure how much but it's steel cased laq Berden primed 20 rounds

will this thread is done and over thanks for the help so far, also i am moving into my own place soon but as i said this thread is over thanks anyway

i will fix that later as i have to haul some stuff to the dump, but those readings seem really low for that switch or maybe i just dont know a whole lot

ok heres what i found with the wires at the switch at the bottom of the stairs, again picture is attached and they are numbered 1,2,3 now with the - lead on wire 3 and + lead on wire 1 i get 20.2v, with the - lead on wire 3 and + lead on wire 2 i get 00.9, with the - lead on wire 2 and + lead on wire 1 i get 20.6v

not yet give me 10 minutes

yes but one switch stopped working and it was replaced and that's when all this started

yup that's where it was at

ok so i did my testing and here is what i found, i am attaching a picture and all 3 wires are numbered 1,2,3 now when i put the + lead on wire 3 and the - lead on wire 1 i get a reading of 88.8v, when i put the + lead on wire 3 and the - lead on wire 2 i get 10v and last when i put the leads on wires 1 and 2 i get a reading of 124v

ok which would be best/safest testing with the power on or off, i dont mind either way

i will unhook the wires again tomorrow and test some more and see what i find

if i try that i will need to desolder the red and white wires but it is worth a shot unless someone else comes up with something else

if you mean the light switch no, if you mean the fuse box that i dont know

correct, though i turned the light off and put both leads on the black wires and got about 125v   EDIT: this is the meter i have http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Commercial-Electric-HDM-4400-Digital-Multimeter-23-Range-7-Function-/151059804889 its a cheapy not one of those nice $100+ fluke meters

just tried my multi meter and the only thing that happend was it flashed 1 and beeped on every wire i put it on

power off and the two wires look to be soldered together   yes i do

that is why i am replacing light switches

have tried that aswell, i have switched the wires every way i can think of and still no dice

when one switch is off the other switch does not work at all

i have tried that way and it still gives issues

Ok here's the pictures from the switch at the bottom of the stairs, it has one yellow wire one red wire and one black wire, there is a red and white wire wrapped in black tape behind the switch upstairs

i dont have any wire long enough to do that but i will take some pictures of the other switch if that may help i do understand and i understand what everyone else here is saying, but no matter which way i am asked to try, the switch just wont work right, this house is really old and from the switch it looks like it used to turn something else on and off
