Kitchen remodel of an original 1956 house. They want to keep the microwave in the same location but are adding a toaster right next to it. I noticed the receptacle for the microwave is pulled off of the range circuit. It's not long, in a metal box, and it's worked for 70 years without issue. But I wonder when it's just time for an upgrade, especially since the toaster will now be sharing the receptacle.
The range wire is all old cloth jacketing. It wouldn't be impossible to replace, but definably will add to the job. Is it even an option to leave that setup in place if I have access?
