Both ends of the same cable. Yep, still other wire in the conduit.

Just curious....

Are the first 3 photos based on condition in place, or by removal of electrical cover plate?

[Bill Kriegh]

Removal of cover plate. Not much that got plugged in in the kitchen worked right or didn't trip a breaker. I had been hired to rewire the kitchen and this is what I was finding as I started removing stuff.

Bill,

The second photos shows the white conductors on the 'hot' terminal screws ... I guess who ever wired that just connected whatever was closest to the terminal to the terminal? ;)

I'm not sure of the mindset. 8 receptacles in the kitchen and every single one had a different problem.
