It's been a long time since I've seen a Zinsco fuse box.

Fire waiting to happen. You might suggest they keep body bags close by, just in case.

Holy crap! Is that dirty underwear hanging there?! I would have written it up as "inaccessible" panel(s)

Other than the fact that it's old and obsolete, there are no more problems with this type of Zinsco, than there is with any other fuse boxes.
