Old M.K. Double 13 Amp Switched Socket.

Zoomup

The old M.K. double switched 13 Amp sockets with four fixing screws were listed in the 1963 M.K. Electrical Accessories Catalogue.  Cat. no. 2947 IVY. Of course you young people won't remember them at all, what with your strange music and fashions.

Does anyone remember just how much they cost each in pounds, shillings and pence, back in 1963?

    broadgage: 
     

    I remember paying about one pound per socket in about 1970. I think that the ones with 4 screws were by then obsolete for new installs but still available for replacements.

    My late Grandmother broke a number of these sockets by pushing beds or other furniture against them with considerable force.

    At the tender age of 10 years I replaced the broken sockets, though rather young to do this I remain satisfied that I did it correctly.

    You beat me to house wiring broadgage. I was a teenager before I did some mains' wiring at home.
