Sylvania = Zinsco?

[Ravenvalor]

Hello,

Today I looked at a very old Sylvania electrical panel that had Sylvania circuit breakers in them that looked identical to the infamous Zinsco circuit breakers. Will someone please advise me as to whether or not these breakers have the same track record as the Zinscos?

Thanks......

GTE bought Zinsco Electrical Products in 1973, they later renamed Zinsco as GTE Sylvania which it remained until GTE sold them & they became Challenger.
