Default A "Not So Pretty" Zinsco

Found at my Saturday morning inspection. . .

Burnt bus bars, AL wiring, trimmed/damaged service conductor. Just a mess.

Here's an FPE panel at a duplex from yesterday. I saw enough from this vantage point to call out the need for an EC. Didn't really want to get near it.
