 Grunge?  Ha, ha, ha!  That's just dust.  Simple universal, ubiquitous

 Total gibberish.

 Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!  Since when is a transformer that steps line
voltage down to 12 volts considered "high Power."

Not the point that 12v isn't particularly hazardous : the point was in having good safety habits, because lab work isn't always going to be just merely 12v at a few Amps.
FYI, even a +5v PSU can kick your ass when its got 500A behind it...and if your procedural controls fail, its ample to kill you.

That circuit is quite innocuous compared to all of the switching power
supplies which, if not actually hooked to a load, will have the potential
for fire or damage.

You can keep your bad habits of letting fire hazards lay around uncorrected.

... Check any electronic supply house and you will find everything that can
duplicate the breadboard -- and everything is made within the "current
century and will continue to be made for years and years to come.

Just where does one find new *wooden* perfboards to buy today?  Your stuff's patina suggests that it was stolen from a 1970s era high school physics lab...back in the 1970s, & its been collecting dust ever since.
