[QUOTE="Milt Hathaway, post: 74040, member: 26"] Re: Be afraid of what you plug into. 14 AWG is plenty large for "chassis wiring" on 15 amp devices, which is way it is used here. Stabbed connections are just fine, or else the method wouldn't have passed UL (etc.) testing. I prefer screw connections for portable assemblies, but that's only personal preference. The damage I see (other than corrosion) looks to be over-current damage which you can't blame anything in the picture for. [/QUOTE]
