Default Re: Mains plug restoration

I fit modern ones with sleeved pins if the kids are likely to be using or disconnecting the set.

I also bin poor quality vintage plugs.

But I do indeed save and clean up good quality old plugs, so long as they’re undamaged. Sometimes I replace a failed fibre cord grip with a nylon one from a modern plug, or even a cable tie.
