Circuit Breakers

Our house is getting pretty old. Some of the circuit breakers are original.
I've replaced a few over the years.

This time, the living room lights started to flicker.

I noticed a burning smell from the circuit breaker box. Figured it was time to replace the rest of the breakers.

If you are not sure how to work on Breaker Boxes, get someone to show you. They are easy to work on, and easy to kill yourself.


 

If you have never messed around a circuit breaker box you should get help. Get someone to show you how to do it safely.

Im just sharing some images of the burnt circuit breakers. I replaced the top 5 circuit breakers on the left. I ended up going with thicker breakers and filled the breaker box.

GE radio-phonograph combination-752

Picked up this 50s Console from a neighbor.

I think this will be more my speed on learning how to work on these things.

It is a Tube Radio Amp and Turntable. No circuit boards.

It is a GE radio-phonograph combination-752. One website said it was made in 1950, another said 1952. I will try and get some numbers off the transformers and see if I can find out when they were made.

I will post images and progress on restoring this as I go.

Im not sure when I will get to it, I need to get some more tools and test equipment. I want to make sure I don't make it worse than it is.

I have not plugged it in yet.
