re: When breakers get old, they can get weak. Replace breaker with
same amperage, and see if problem continues.
Or just swap the hot wire with one from another breaker. If the same
*breaker* trips, replace the breaker. If the same *circuit* trips,
it's time for further investigation.
BTDT - it was the breaker.
