There was a missing knockout on the Zinisco that needed a look. My main reccomendation was that these panels were problematic at best and both panels should be evaluated by an electrician. I'm getting there.

Heck I did not open the Stablok panel

I could not believe it when I saw it. Wish the picture came out better. From a 1952 block house charmer.

I gotta agree with you Jeff, my curiosity would have dictated that I do the same.

However I also teach that if you are going to be defering the panel inspection to a licensed electrical contractor due to readily visible conditions (such as FPE's) that in many cases you are better not to evaluate it any further.

Regards

Gerry

I peaked into the Zinsco but I was sure I would trip the FPE breakers. It was a 1600 sq/ft house with about another 400 sq/ft added on. It ate my lunch. Original galvanised plumbing throughout and not too pretty at that.
