A friend just called me and he said his computer quit working. He went back to the panel and checked it with a meter. He said that it reads 120 each phase and 240 phase to phase, but when he puts a load on any circuit the voltage drops about 60 volts. When this be a lose neutral at the transformer?
 
Could be a loose neutral anywhere between the panel & transformer.

Check the voltage on the other phase and see if it goes up.

I'd rather think open/loose hot at this point

I would do as 480sparky suggested, if the other legs voltage does not go up, then the problem is what mdshunk is suggesting. Both are possibilities.
