On a SERIOUS NOTE he could have alunimum wiring
It was used years ago to cut costs. trouble is its higher resistance
and can become a fire hazard. its trouble can lead to low voltage and
this situation should be investigated.
The wire is not the problem. Because of the higher resistance of
aluminum larger wire is used. Connections to aluminum wire are what fail.
