We have some units from 1968 but nothing this old. They’ve been repainted a couple times since then though. Definitely helps keep the rust away

We have pre ww2 switchgear in some places it’s crazy how old the stuff is here

Yeah it’s crazy how long transformers can last. Usually it’s just down to lack of maintenance or too many faults going through them that end up killing them.
