Dave, did you ever find out anymore about that outlet? Perhaps it was the forerunner to this one:
I'm still trying to gather up some more info on this particular one as I've been told this outlet could be wired up for either 15 amps/120 volts or 10 amps/240 volts. Looking at the pics you've posted it looks like maybe yours could be done the same way? |

two words: Fire Insurance!
Those are really scary. Have you considered rewiring?

WOW!, Never seen those, how old is your house? Back in the day they used whatever they could find that would do the job, whether it was safe or not, I was once replacing a plug in my house and learned that when they intalled the outlet, they had no wire left and they decided to cut a cord of an iron and use it for the outlet.

Dawg,
Did you ever find out about that outlet? You said it looked like it could be wired up for either 15 amps/120 volts or 10 amps/240 volts.
is this one grounded? I have run into this. Just would like to know what kind of animal I'm dealing with.
