I'd have to say I would like to travel back to the mid-late 50's and start from there. Reason being is a lot of the buildings I have had to work in have been built in the '50s or soon after and it would have been neat to see how things were done then vs now as well try using the standard materials and wiring methods used back in those times.

Albert, You mean to tell me that you haven't Got one of these?. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/mt/TM1.JPG)  From this thread. Personally, if I had a time machine, I'd be going forward in time to see what's in store for us down the track in the trade. Oh and getting some lottery numbers while I'm there probably wouldn't be a silly idea either.

Heh, We've got an old Panasonic wireless phone, credit card terminal, hard drive, I think a floppy drive, all duct taped to what looks like one of Compaq's iScams, I mean iPaq computers. Mike, better start betting now if that actually goes anywhere in time!   Ian A.
Is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?

Safety issues aside, I'd like to go back to the Rural electrification era of the 1930s and 1940s, and be a house electrician Who's joke was it about the rural electrification program? Was the worst job I ever had, wiring lighting for Apache indian reservation bathrooms. I was the first man ever to wire a head for a reservation... sorry...

Easy. I would be Nikola Tesla's apprentice. The further one went back, the more one would lose. However, I have to admit, a chance to work with Tesla would be really tempting.
