Where's the sticky thread for old stuff?

littlespark · Sep 21, 2018

Doing a little job in my local pub:- changing double sockets to ones with USB chargers built in and 90 or so portable appliance tests... I came across this old man in the cupboard.

[ElectriciansForums.net] Where's the sticky thread for old stuff?

and its 30A little brother on the opposite wall.

2 out of 3 fuse carriers missing from inside so incomplete.

Did we have a thread specially for old stuff? I can't remember one.

That's in very good nick that. Almost certainly asbestos inside.

nice piece of kit.that would last another 100 years without any problems.not like the shyte we get lumbered with today.

I opened it to check for asbestos. None there. That's why I know there's 2 fuse holders missing. I'll check inside the 30A one next week when i'm working in the kitchen.

This 30A one definitely has some sort of fluffy woven flash pad
