Reading the thread on finding stuff in your own home got me looking through my photo libraries. I dug up all of these right now, I have more to go through and upload too.

Here's the flying splice that was buried in the garage/house wall right next to the panel. It's in the 10/3 dryer line, guess they cut the old one too short when they put the new panel in! It's all since been replaced. To add insult the injury, they had the wall stuffed with newspaper and tarpaper!:



Here's the vintage fluorescents in the bathrooms. The first floor's had its ballast and sockets replaced at some point, hence the blue wire. The second floor's was original and extra crispy. I assumed they were both original so when I replaced the guts of one (the second floor) I did them both. The aluminum wire runs up the utility wall to ground both to the water line.



Oh, so that's why my bathroom light stopped working!!:



Here's the old sockets:
