I am looking at a house that was built in 1976 (there's some question as to whether it was actually 1976 or 1973)... But, either way, the thing has the original fuse box and aluminum wiring. It seems like this is doing 'okay' as it hasn't burned down up to this point. Have you ever seen or dealt with anything like this before? I haven't seen this on any of the other houses I've own/looked at... My main question is, is this something that would normally get replaced completely? or, is it normal to just upgrade to a real/new panel with ARC fault breakers and then run all new circuits with copper?
