Rewiring an older home( possibly late 40's) and removing the 2 wire Paulding receps throughout.
Was surprised to see that the body of the device came apart with 2 small machine screws.
I took a few apart and noticed how well these were constructed.
The contacts were quite heavy gauge construction. It was built so every piece internal could have been replaced(impractical to do so)even the mounting ears came out.
It gives one a glimpse as to the quality that existed in products produced 60+ years ago.
