These guys have been failing for a long time, so it's time to replace them with something that can stand up to my abuse.
Of course that brings up the electrical side of things. I am looking to install blue plastic boxes with standard household electrical receptacles, aka, outlets. So I pry apart one of the speed boxes and found the wires. Black on, white one, and bare one. The bare one is the ground. Now comes the hard part, There are two black ones and two white ones. I guess that's so the juice can bypass the outlet if it is not being used.
I searched for some cool replacement receptacles, found this one I think would be good, it has USB holes, that would be nice.
What I am having trouble with is remembering if the white wires goes to the sliver screw or the gold screw. Then I have the problem of getting two wires into the one wire connector.
If anyone has a better way to fix/replace these things I am up for suggestions and ideas.
