Welcome to OldSurge.com
The Vintage Power Protection Archive
OldSurge.com is dedicated to documenting and preserving the history of surge protectors, power strips, uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs), and related power-protection devices.
The archive combines original photography, measurements, weight documentation, operational testing, teardown analysis, and historical research to preserve information that may otherwise be lost as products are discontinued and supporting documentation disappears.
This archive exists for collectors, researchers, electronics enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the history of power-protection technology.

Important Notice
Devices documented on this site are presented as historical artifacts and collectibles. Many older surge protectors may no longer provide effective electrical protection and should not be relied upon to protect modern electronics.
Methodology
Whenever possible, devices are photographed, tested, weighed, measured, and documented before any disassembly is performed. Functional testing, internal examination, and teardown photography are conducted when practical. Non-destructive disassembly techniques are preferred in order to preserve historical examples.
When available, serial numbers, date codes, component markings, patent information, historical advertising, and archived manufacturer documentation are used to establish production dates and document product evolution.
