    My home inspector has never seen this before

    I’m in escrow on a 1977 octagon home and my inspector said that he has never seen a panel like this before (he did not look inside of it since he is not an electrician And it’s bolted shut pretty good). What is something like this going to cost to replace? He “guessed” 4k.
