I have 1, possibly 2 complete panels with all the breakers. Let me look tomorrow and see exactly what I have and then I’ll get back to you.

Those are very dangerous breakers I’ve been told by numerous electricians. They sometimes don’t trip and cause fires from what I understand.

^^^^^ this is very true.

From what I read the breakers themselves are the culprits
Don't they make newer ones to fit?? That are safer designed

Junk, according to the insurance companies. I had a rental with one in it. Pull out a double thirty and put in a double fifty. I'm sure that it is still in my parts box and I have no use for it. If you get in a pinch, pm me.

I have replaced two of these at the advice of professional electricians. Don't know about new breakers that may be compatible.

Connecticut Electric breaker. These are the newer type breaker for old FPE panels, they're grey in color.

Please replace that panel. They lost their UL listing like 30+ years ago.

You can buy them on amazon as well.

We have them in our house and it weighs heavy on my mind that
As a retired couple, wife and I can’t afford to replace them anytime soon
The electric contractor quote was outrageously expensive
