Hi to all,

Too funny, we have had 8 voters so far, but Federal pacific has recieved 8 votes and Zinsco has recieved 1 vote, someone is cheating

Could be any kind of panel by the picture. Are we to use our experience and guess at what kind of panel it is? May be that is not a guess and a professional opinion?

So how do you know it is Zinco or FCP? Besides the tag. And what is wrong with them.
Thanks for the help!
