See what your think of this installation. It was across the aisle from the booth where I was sitting and I happened to have my camera. I was impressed by the way the load connections goes back into the wall and the apparent lack of a Romex source cable. It looks like they used lamp cord to feed the receptacle installation.

Am I seeing things or is that a ground pin broken off in the bottom duplex?

Are the receptacles wrapped in duct tape? The tape looks silver in color.

What's holding the box to the wall? It seems like it's just dangling in there. [Linked Image]

Please tell me this is a little old Ma & Paw place out in the dingles some where, not close to civilization!! Did you even get an idea of where that beige cord went after it went into the wall??

Interesting to see that they used 20 amp devices.

The beige power cord probably goes to one of these things [Linked Image]
