Lights. It's all gone dark?

Can anyone help. I'm new to this club, and Triumph ownership. We picked up our '78 Spitfire 1500 on Saturday, and have already encountered many problems. The one I can't figure out though is the dissapearance of all the lights? The side, rear, headlamps have all given up the ghost? The headlamps lasted the longest, but eventually they went as well. I have checked the fuses (all three of 'em) they seem ok. I have sprayed contact cleaner into the fusebox, and the light switch. I have yet to check the switch with a tester though. The dash lights have also gone west!! Please somebody tell me this is a "common" fault with these cars and easily repairable!!!

Thanks for your help, and Hello!!!
