Old mains sockets
Hello all
I have a number of old mains plugs which I clearly will never use for actual appliances. Even the more modern ones I'd not trust having read threads about them self destructing in use.
However I did wonder about trying my hand at making one or two simple display items and wondered if old sockets were as available as old plugs? I guess not as they would be more likely to be scrapped during a rewire, but I do have some old light switches which you'd think might suffer the same fate.
The thing I had in mind would simply be a piece of wood made to look as nice as I could make it holding the socket, and the plug inserted perhaps with some period looking flex.
There's no purpose to this other than my own amusement.
Martin
