Hi all-
Hoope you can help me with what I think is a pretty simple thing I can't get figured out.
I have a switch that controls a wall receptable (for a sconce). Prior installation was messy and frankly I forgot to make careful notes about what was what.
Now I am having trouble getting the new one connected correctly.
It's a simple two-way switch arrangement, and there are other things farther down the circuit I am pretty sure.
Attached are the images of the receptacle and switch diagrams.
On the diagram I used purple instead of white for clarity.
However, the inside of the box and wiring is filthy and it looks like there was some paint at some point, so I really can't tell the difference between white and black (red at least teh red shows through the crap clearly).
There are also ground wires which I omitted from diagram.
The lighting fixture has black and white wires.

Thanks for the assist!
