It's not "remnants." Most of the B-vent was actually wrapped like this. The top half of the vertical portion was not wrapped.

Jeff,

I don't know what the heck you have been doing lately, but where in the hell are the Zinsco, Federal Pacific, Sylvania panel photos?

I'm jones-in for a IR image of something cookin-----

You have been slacking off lately...or been lucky, what ever the case may be....

I've actually been compiling photos for an upcoming trial where a Sylvania panel has been blamed for burning down a home. I've been hired as a consultant and expert wittness for this case

If I get permission, I'll post them after trial, which is currently scheduled for May '08.
