I still marvel at the real old 'pancake' ceiling box, with four (4) 14 ga. BX cables, and a fixture tap spliced within.

I also pity the 'newbie' without any experience who attempts to open the splices. Old RH insulation, 40-50years of being 'baked' by the light bulb(s), and he has a disaster on his hands.

Amazing the time, patience, and workmanship that went into that original splice!
