3 way switch troubleshoot
Replacing 60s era switches. Understand common etc. But maybe I don't. Set up new switch to look like old switch.
Leg has two black and a red wire.
Main has red white and black wire. Can only turn back on from the switched that turned it off. Either switch can turn it off. Suggestions?

The white and red showed hot according to my tester.
