Plug it in, Plug it in

[exploreparadise2]

I've seen plenty of receptacle adapters, but this two-prong adapter in a 1940 house is the first like this that I've come across. You should be able to jam 6 or 7 ungrounded plugs into it. Being inches from the kitchen sink makes it even more precious.

Oh, that's a good one.

Has anyone else ever seen that wiremold version of this? It's similar to the adapter in Blair's picture, but it's wiremold. I'd love to get a picture of it.

I have never seen one like that before.

As far as the wiremold, I had a customer back in the late 80's who wanted wiremold under the cabinets to which I obliged but I had to install a GFCI breaker. He had a plug every 6" that was mounted directly under the cabinets against the backsplash so you never had any receptacles seen on the custom tile backsplash.

Jim,

I have seen them dozens of times, but no photo. I'll keep my eyes open for one!

I seem to recall a good photo in the IAEI

I actually have 2 power strips that are made exactly like that. Funny thing is that the plug and the power strip itself are rated ''110 V 15 A" The cord is 16 ga.. Thing was imported from Japan and quite old. I would assume that the power tap in the pic is from the same manufacturer.
