Default Zinsco/Sylvania equipment?

We don't get many around here and I'm not sure if this is a sylvania panel. No lables of course. Thanks.

Is that a yes or no? I've read the info there and still cannot determine if it is. It does not have the red/blue breakers as noted, but it sure looks like one.

Hi to all,

David, yes that is a Zinsco/Slyvania panel, the big give away is not the color of the breaker handles, rather it is the design of the bus-bars. If you compare the one you saw with the images that Joe H directed you to you will see they are the same.

Regards

Gerry

Did you see the double tap at the service disconnect?
