Well, I guess from averaging all the input I can rule out having to re-pull the circuit. I removed the insulation and the joint looked like it was well executed...probably by an 'old timer'...it bore a striking resemblance to the western union joint that was posted. Thanks for all the input. Oh, BTW, the circuit used to go to a ceiling hung cord reel. It appears they needed an additional dedicated circuit for a drop cord for a piece of cord connected equipment. The receptacle was replaced with a drop cord with strain relief. the box was supported in the grid with a t-bar hanger.
