Zinsco panel remark

[Mike Lamb]

What do you think of this remark in my report:

·         The electric panel in the condo unit is a Zinsco type which has a bad history of circuit breaker failure. I opened the panel and did not see any apparent issues. However, considering the poor documented performance of this type of panel I recommend an electrician take a closer look for any deficiencies that might cause call for panel replacement.

My preference is to just tell them it needs relacement.

Yeah, in about so many words.

Zinsco electrical panels are inherently dangerous.  Have the panel replaced ASAP.

Around here, Zinscos make Federal Pacific look like a Cadillac. "voted most likely to set your house on fire"

I recommend replacement, then ask if I can have it. I have an outbuilding that needs a panel and I wouldn't mind if it burned down.
