Andrew,

The TRA judging guide notes that, "Around 1960, the panel light switch was
replaced with a rheostat switch.  The knob markings were altered to suit"
My TS30766 does not have a rheostat.

Sounds like you have a post-1960 switch in your car.

My 1962 TR3B has a rheostat panel switch with the two-ended arrow and
situated in the middle of the cluster.  The small-mouth I got a couple of
weeks ago has the same set-up, but I thought it originally would have had a
non-adjustable panel switch (i.e. an on-off as opposed to a dimmer) and it
was at the top of the cluster (with wipers in the middle).

Can anyone tell me what the original set-up would have been in 1957?
Thanks!
