Has this any failings do you think? The door can be replaced.

One thing for certain, those Cardiff Corporation cable jointers certainly knew how to make off a maintenance free joint.

I see no joint in that photo, but I imagine the ones in the PILC outside are holding up well, and were probably jointed very much in the manner off the one shown here 6 mins of true craftmanship, not that we'd slop solder about by ladle these days... 

Note the heavy tinning of the wires and the way the overlaps are held on with thin tinned wire as a sort  of frapping.
