Even Better than FPE
Same house. Man, I had a field day with this place. Check out this Stab Lok panel. Back stabbed aluminum wire at the receptacles, not a GFCI in sight. You all know the story.

Re: Even Better than FPE
By any chance, is this the house of the man standing on the train?

Re: Even Better than FPE
Oh yeah, everything was still live. The buyer's husband is a retired electrician who just had a heart attack. He's going to have another one when he sees this report.
I forgot this one earlier. I was tempted to throw a stick at it from the ground and see what happened, but I felt bad for the county guys who would have to come fix it.
(They aren't quite touching, although it looks like it in this photo. They are about 1/4" apart. I'm surprised that they didn't already arc together, but I guess they need to be a little closer.)

Already done. One of my best friends is a lineman for the county (Glen Campbell?). He's aware of it.

Re: Even Better than FPE
Jim,
What is that material on the inside of that panelbox? Looks like JB Weld or some type of cancerous growth.
