Hey thanks , I’m a novice at electrical work other than wiring basic light fixtures around the house. Yes 2 blacks and 2 whites coming out of wall , using a Klein voltage tester 1 white wire lights up as hot/live , the other white nothing , and nothing from the 2 blacks. I think something deeper...

Thanks sparky . This baseboard heater had 1 red and 1 black . The wall outlet has 2 black and 2 white (there use to be another heater in the room ). I took the black wire (heater) connected it to the 2 blacks in the wall outlet, and took the red wire (heater) and connected it to the 2 whites in...

Thanks for the info , also looks like eBay is the only source for those clips . I’m missing 2 of them

Hey guys I have a vintage 1976 Mac tool box, how to remove the drawers ? I’m assuming its something to do with the black clips on the drawer slides . I’m also missing 3 of those clips on some drawers … where can I find them ? I hear Waterloo use to have them but they have been bought out . Any...
