Yes.
The one I distinctly remember (and am referring to) was about 11 years ago in Portland, Oregon, before Digital Pics in reports… so no pic’s to show you. Sorry.
Thanks Jeffery .
It sure would be interesting to know if they have upgraded in the last 11 years … Roy
Historic my A** this lovely 1909 POS needs to go bye bye
Lined with asbestos to boot. 
Thanks Charlie.
Good pictures , I agree and expect 99.9 % of the electricians agree Knob and tube needs immediate replacement …
I was trying to be kinder lol but your right Charlie
Of course they do, they’re like realtors… if they don’t replace it, they don’t get paid! :p:twisted::mrgreen:
They Recommend Repair Just the same as most Homies do , to save lives … Roy
This string is an example I do not see many who say Knob and tube is OK .
No evidence that knob and tube wiring covered by insulation has caused any fires.
I thought you would like to know.
And yes I would call it out as a defect.

Michael.
Question if you moved into another home and it Had Knob and Tube would you not upgrade the wireing… Roy
This is not about what I would do Roy and you have not shown a fire caused by properly installed and maintained Knob and tube.
Read what you posted.

You do not think sprinklers are needed in Homes and hard hats not needed on motorcycles .
Do you now put on your seat belts in the car or do you still leave them off.

If you are going to misrepresent what I say I have no choice but to call to a liar.
I believe in freedom. It’s too bad you do not.

Thanks Michael You are very adapt at calling me a liar you Have followed me around like a lost puppy frequently,You love to show how poor your attitude is .
It is a shame you do not act like a grown up person should .
You have shown how vindictive you are and for a person who sits on the esop you are very bad example of how a good homie .
So sad you can not behave like an Professional person should.
You say you are an engineer I have worked with many and none have every acted the way you do .
I can see how you spend so much time on this Forum .
I think you have the education to show all the proper way to do things .
Why not try and improve you might be surprised how easy it is to do .
I like my country and support it and our leaders .
**Sample Report on K&T with NO visible damage:
**Knob & Tube wiring was noted at some locations in the building. Although commonly used in the past, and accepted or grand-fathered by most national and local electrical codes, most electrical systems using this in our area are well over 60 years old. Due to its age; its tendency to become brittle with age; and the fact that it has likely been added onto several times by various trades people over the years (often not properly), Some insurance companies or lenders will not choose to accept it, and may require upgrading or replacing this type of wiring. We recommend that the buyer VERIFY acceptability and insurability with your insurance company and lender prior to closing escrow. Also due to its age we recommend having a licensed and competent electrician examine the wiring system and components for safety, unreliable conditions, etc prior to closing. If deficiencies are discovered repair or replace as needed.
Just maybe you can not find a fire related from K&T would be filed as faulty wiring as cause . Can anyone prove there has not been one ? Just saying
Btw

Read the story Wayen. It was not caused by the knob and tube but improper splicing.:shock:
