Have not seen this panel before and cannot locate any identifiers. What are your thoughts on what brand this is? I was thinking challenger.
I’ve had electric cabinets that I didn’t find the name of and just inspected it as a normal electric cabinet…YMMV

Is it considered to be an unsafe type circuit breaker like other Zinsco or Sylvania type circuit breakers?

Thanks Larry…the home was built in 1966 and this looks original. I am completing a 4pt and cannot locate any name to put on the form. Any suggestions?
If the breaker is a Zinsco would it be safe to assume the panel is Zinsco?
“If the breaker is a Zinsco would it be safe to assume the panel is Zinsco?”
That would be a good assumption. However, better to put down “undetermined” if that is an option.

Thank you Brian!
I appreciate the response.
Here is what I get…Main CB is a Sylvania Type QFP e16248-K Breaker But could be Zinsco
Zinsco was sold to GTE Sylvania, which inturn kept the production of the panels going until late 1970s. Even though manufacturing stopped, the panels that were already produced kept being installed in properties for a few more years. Today, a Zinsco panel is considered updated and unsafe .
Welcome Jennifer!
Sorry, I was backing up my computer…
I agree with Brian and I did’t know you were in FL and doing a 4 point…maybe note that in the future or there is a FL section of the forum, too.

Thank you for your input! That was helpful. I appreciate it.
You nailed it. TYPE WFP numbers match. E-16248
