Does anyone make a flush mount external cluster meter main any more?

Does anyone still make a flush mount meter/main product?

We have a panel that's shot, that's flush mount, and there's really no room for a modern panel.
Working space rules won't permit a surface mount solution, and various constraints hamper moving the service.


Old panel
200 amps, rule of 6, six 50 amp breakers
38 inches high, 18 inches wide, 3.5 inches deep, flush mount between studs (the meters protrude from the wall)

Standard new panel quote:

I checked Eaton's B-Line, and did not do much better.

For the old panel:
There's no problem with capacity, but there's evidence of arcing, and one of the meter rings is not original,
having apparently been welded on from another meter main of a similar (but not identical) panel. Low income property, multiple units.

(Sorry, that quote should be for a 200 amp new panel, WB1200C).
