Now that it's apart, I can tell that it is (will be) good. As to the age, it's the only one that I have seen that has a fuse.

Long ago, I spotted a fire in the neighbor's garage, while the entire family was in the living room watching tv. It was an electrical fire, I recall. Might have saved the home and lives. I'll check and probably throw away some old lab type power strips that I don't use, and I am downsizing anyway.

Better safe than cheap.

I just checked the electrical equipment at the well pump and booster. I had some grungy work entirely replaced several years ago.

I was an electrician's mate, and bought benders and fish tape for EMT but haven't had the need in recent years. Always ready, though. Semper Paratus.
