Hi

Seems a bit easy for you
No need to rewire it or play with capacitors

"William P. Marr emigrated from Scotland to Ontario, Canada early in the twentieth century. After settling in the Toronto area, he was employed as a contractor for Ontario Hydro, where he worked as an electrician, converting gas-lit homes to electrical incandescent lighting.

At that time, the accepted practice for joining conductors was a process called “solder and tape”. Typically, a mechanic would first install the insulated wires; then an electrician cleaned the exposed conductors, twisted them together, then firmly joined the conductors's ends by dipping them into a pot of molten solder. After cooling, the jointed exposed conductors were wrapped with insulating tape.

The process was time-consuming and potentially dangerous. Marr was injured when he spilled molten solder on himself. Seeking a safer and more efficient way of joining electrical conductors, Marr, working in his home workshop, developed the first pressure-type wire connector and, in 1914, produced a set-screw version which was the forerunner to the present-day twist-on connector now used in North America."

Certainly I can remember screw on porcelain ones used in my parent house that was built just pre-war (1939-45 war) - probably 1937-8 along with rubber and cotton '7-029' wires
