This house is in NY. Other circuits are working fine so I don't think it is
an outside splice. This was built in 1960 and by the way the wires are run,
I think they had a shortage of electricians!

Do you live in Raleigh, NC. In my last house I had a problem (don't
remember exactly what it was) and asked the utility to check the line.
They
did and ended up digging up an outside splice. They said there was a
bunch
of defective splices used about 12 to 15 years ago.

I am new to this group but may be using it a lot since I have just
bought
a
house that is turning out to be a true Handy Man Special.

Question: Some of my receptacles will run low voltage such as lights,
but
not very bright. A hundred watt bulb will only look like it is 50W. A
vacuum cleaner will not even work.

I have replaced all receptacles in the bedroom but there may be more
switches and receptacles on this circuit.

Can anyone tell what the problem may be and is there an easy way to test
it?
