Home built 1926. What is this???
Telephone equipment.
Yep.
Early style telephone lighting/surge arrestor and you noticed right below of that device there is a small black box below of it with new white wires] that is latter model of surge/lighting arrestor.
Merci, Marc
Has anyone mentioned that it’s an old telephone carbon arrestor? :mrgreen:
Yep , yank it out.
Wait I better ask Mike,as it might be a doorbell.
Only if you don’t need the land line phone Bob.
