Thoughts on this and what to do to possibly patch it? Probably a tennis ball sized area is missing. Just a builders grade driveway that’s subject to regular Midwestern freeze/thaw cycles. Driveway does have caulk in the joints.

Hey PL, thanks for that research and info! I think you’re absolutely right. It’s Maryport and the lettering on the dials has faded. That is interesting.

sorry, didn’t take enough pics! The right and left side just had what looked to be a recessed eyelet for a cable or some attachment. I’ve been doing web searches with the manufacturer (W. Shimmin) and can’t find anything. Really weird that there’s no information on it or even the terms for...

There are some connectors on the side. Someone said that it looked like a cable could attach to it, so it could be a scale? But it no one knew for sure. they did think it was the original case.

Odd one, but any ideas what this is And what is was used for? Couldn’t find anything online. Looks like a clock, but only goes to 50 on each side.

Resolved. I’ll own up and I don’t think I had it initially wired correctly, between the line and the load. Also, the reset button had to be really pressed in the get it to reset (as Slim indicated in the post above). Just giving people a heads up in case they encounter something similar and...

I actually did that. Disconnected the Load wires and just had the Line and ground connected. Turned the breaker on and still no power. So using that outlet that doesn’t have a GFCI breaker hooked up…does it pose any shock/fire danger? Haven’t plugged anything into it now that it’s just a...

I bought an Eaton gfci breaker. It has a springy reset button, but doesn’t really “set” like a typical one. Wonder if a got a bad one?

Thanks guys. I tested the wires and only one is hot (the black one in the yellow sleeve marked “hot”. The remaining 3, including the black one, have no voltage. I moved the hot one to the left in the pic. Assuming the single hot is the Line, I just hooked up the hot/black to the line...

Outlet isn’t switched. Lights and fan are out too. It’s a bathroom.

Ok. I’ll check it with a meter and see what I can find out. Also, what’s the rationale for marking a white wire as hot? Just wondering from an electrician standpoint…

Got a weird (to me) outlet wiring problem. So the outlet just tripped the gfci this morning and the reset didn’t work. It had been working fine until today. So I got a new outlet and noticed that one of the neutral wires is wrapped and marked with the black “hot” wire. (see pic-hot marked...

My POS Whirlpool “stainless steel” fridge rusts. I have to wax it every year with automotive wax as a preventative. I’m guessing there‘s more stainless steel in my $10 beverage tumbler than there is in my $1000+ fridge.

Thats what I was thinking. Christmas lights! But the light was in the middle of the group, so it’d be an odd place to start a run of lights. But, when I started unscrewing the bad bulb, the rest of the lights turned on, so im wondering if there was some weird electrical draw from the bad led...
