I don't understand how this ever passed inspection. I am greatful that I'm able to own a home and have a mortgage, but this house (built in 1950) does not feel to ever been updated through the years. It is a pain to now keep up with everything that needs updated. I was so excited at the prospect of becoming a home owner I didn't pay attention to stuff like this, and also figured that if it passed FHA and insurance Inspection it must be good to go.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen anything like that. I would imagine that you’d have a difficult time buying replacement fuses. But you could always use pennies.

As a general rule of thumb home inspectors have no idea what they are actually doing. Like mentioned above their allegiance is to the mortgage company.


From just a picture it does not look that bad at all

If it is in good condition there is nothing wrong with what you have. The real concern is that everything else attached to it is old as mud. an upgrade is going to be very costly. I'd make sure that the 30A fuses (the green ones) are not feeding 20A branch circuits. If they are then they need to be replaced with 20's. After that and maybe an inspection from an actual electrician I think I would leave it alone (assuming it keeps up with everything you are wanting to do)
