Default Sharing the neutral from another wire
Found this the other day the bank said it needed to be repaired. Old knob and tube using the neutral from another line.

Default Re: Sharing the neutral from another wire
Is it actually using the neutral from another circuit or is a failed K&t neutral being replaced by the white conductor?
