I looked at a job today with a residential Sylvania panel. Do they still make branch circuit breakers rated for this panel? If so, what brand?

Would the CH be UL approved for a Sylvania panel? I believe the Slyvania panel I looked at looked like mini breakers whiche were light blue in color.
 
Sylvania is completely obsolete and there is no direct modern replacement available. I could check into a Cutler Hammer "Classified" Type CL breaker to see if it's listed for use in Sylvania.
 
Sylvania became Challenger & as said before, Sylvania = Zinsco.

Sylvania did make 2 styles of breakers 1 was the infamous Zinsco design, and the other was the common 1" wide breaker that is refered as "interchangeable" by some folks....

NEW Breakers are available quite expensive about 40 - 50 bucks
UBI and T&B ( I heard T&B sold the line)

The latter of which should accept Cutler-Hammer type BR breakers.
