I replaced all or my sockets and switches in my home a couple of years
ago. I now have one that has low voltage on my 'analog' votl meter.
Yea I know google groups and an analog voltmeter. I get it...

Anyway. How it that possible? Is there a bad connection up the line of
outlets that would cause it to read 50 volts instead of the normal 115
or 120?
