The only reason I can see for stripping insl. is they were too cheap or too ignorant to use white tape to identify the neutral.

Obviously it was stripped back so it's easier to touch it with your bare hand.

"OLD Stab Loc's are brown...the red tip ones were the last 'new' from FPE. The replacements (American) are Black with white numbers.


Actually, I have four Stab-Loks from the brown era that are... tie-dyed? Seriously hippie-dippy. Came out of a house built in 1953. Different colors of resin all marbled together: pink, blue, yellow.

I'm betting that this panel is at the bottom of what used to be a staircase.
