[QUOTE="Craig Hauber, post: 84473, member: 272"] Re: Just when you thought you saw the worst.... They look quite similar and seemed to be very close in price -are you sure you're thinking of the right connector? nema 14-50[ATTACH=CONFIG]152226.vB5-legacyid=6499[/ATTACH], nema 14-60[ATTACH=CONFIG]152227.vB5-legacyid=6500[/ATTACH] The 50 uses a molded pigtail whereas the 60 you can buy an actual connector-plug for, still way cheaper than the twist-style 50A California connector. I'm right now working on renovating an old house and the 1948 electric stove uses the 60A one shown above. The house was still running with knob and tube type wiring and somebody added in a 60A cartridge fuse disconnect to feed just that stove as the house only had a 30A service for everything else!
