wylex push/plug -in MCB - the new gold standard

psychicwarrior 10 months ago

If anyone has decent condition (not even that !) old Wylex plug/push -in MCB, you are sitting on a new gold currency !

The prices for them have gone through the roof - check out 'evilbay' for instance.

Not too long ago they could be had new for 7 to 10 quid.

Greedy folk in society demonstrate themselves again... reminiscent of hand sanitiser and toilet roll era.

Would anybody care to date one of these? I found a couple under the floorboards. I think that they were removed in the early 1980s. Some refurbishment may have been carried out in the mid 1960s, but they look older than that.

ETA: BS 3036 dates from 1958.
