I'm impressed.

Ok, I'm installing an endstation in an airing cupboard and I need to clear some stuff out so I can drill at ease without worrying about dust damaging anything. Normally, I would either ask the customer to empty it, or if it was just a few shirts I would put them on the nearest bed. I agreed the position of the endstation with the customer to be in the airing cupboard. There was a 13amp socket backing onto it that would be perfect to wire the spur into. Problem is, when I opened the airing cupboard there was a whole pile of underwear on the shelf. So, instead of embarrassing the customer who was aware I had already opened the cupboard door and asking her to move them, I pushed them to the back of the cupboard and pretend that I never noticed them. Later the customer went nuts because she was "totally embarressed" and "I should have never been in there to start with!". Uhhh, we discussed this before...? She was a stuckup old cow! Everytime I visited there for a maintenance visit, she purposely used only the bare minimum words (Eg, "hello its in there" then walked away! Funny enough the cupboard was empty this time!). Stuck up cow! Anyone else any "customer's underwear" stories!? Matt

and spin it a few times if its somewhere cold/damp

Bit unfair, he's actually very astute.

Thanks

The bell box above is the one i am on about, never seen a metal one.

Just connect the leave side of the loop see what devices are there/missing then diss the leave side of the loop and connect the return side of the loop and repeat if all devices are seen the panels goosed

I doubt you'll find anything like that in working order and it seems a bit of an odd request, most would just replace and skip the old box. If purely aesthetic reasons you could cobble some modern bellbox electronics into the casing, reusing the tamper switches if serviceable.

Due to location and space I would go with solder and any type of wrapping , not gift wrap though
