Tried using a toner and probe on an old house from the 50s
I was tracing a circuit in a house built in 1956 near Columbus and the toner kept picking up signal on three different wires at once. Turns out the old cloth-wire romex doesn't shield worth a damn and everything couples together. Anybody else run into this with older wiring?

Three wires singing at once is just old houses showing off, I guess. My first time with cloth romex I thought my toner was haunted and almost called an electrician to do an exorcism. Turns out it just couples like crazy and you have to play musical wires until one plays nice.
