Ny combo switch, i am referring to one that has a switch on top of an
outlet or vica versa, with the same wires ( 2 ) that are there now?


When you say two wires do you mean two wire cables, each with a black,
white, and bare wire? *Or do you mean that one cable comes in and it
only has a black and white wire in it. *If the first then you may be
able to add an outlet, if the second then no, you can't.


2 seperate wires or at leas they look seperate as barely i can
see...one is black and the other is white. Its an old connection so i
do not see a bare wire for ground. How about a jumper? would that work?
