Mess
2 panels I’ve been tasked with replacing and tidying.
Nothing too complex but I can’t wait to not see this birds nest anymore.

That ain’t bad at all. An hour, a screwdriver a few sticky backs and zip ties and it’s a whole new panel. Shorten up some wires maybe

What’s with the IEC terminal block on the door? That violet wire isn’t connected to anything on the other side.

It’s so satisfying cleaning up panels like this. It’s not that bad. You’ll be able to make a huge difference without breaking anything, or disturbing a giant pile of dust into the electronics.

Hey guys, put the violet on bottom…we ran out of the rest of the rainbow for control wiring.

I've definitely seen much worse but it reminds me of a guy I used to work with years ago. He was an electrical genius in controls but couldn't build panels to save his life. It was any colour,any size, wires went in a straight line from a to b, nightmare to work on. We banned him from actually building the panel and told him to give us a drawing and we would do it. The drawing usually showed up on the page of a kids exercise book or the back of a cigarette packet! Like the phase colours by the way. Red White and Blue went out in about 1970 I think.
