1924 house

[Darren]

Here's what I found at yesterdays inspection. Some ugly, some not so ugly.

[Bill Kibbel]

Slate back panel?

[Marc]

No 3-phase loads?

[Tom Raymond]

#2 is gorgeous.  

[John Kogel]

Yes, it would be difficult to prove that a modern breaker panel would be an improvement. Except that a breaker can be reset, and that there is a lot of exposed metal there for someone fumbling with fuses.

I'm not too timid about opening panels and electrical in general, even work some stuff hot if the need arises but that bottom panel with all the exposed live metal spooks me and really makes me fear for the average home owner trying to change a fuse in the dark! Still it is a thing of beauty for the workmanship.

The fun part of the job!
