At one time this was how it was done. (minus the messiness of the cabling)
Bjarney's got the only specific claim to anything that may be unsafe (looks like transite), yet everyone seems avid to rip the whole thing out.

If the original work was done by a DIYer, then he was
very well equipped...These are "indenter" type EMT fittings, and require a special crimping tool to install. (I've never had one)
