Hello Everyone. I have been looking for a unique panel for days and I have been struggling to find what I'm looking for. I was hoping to get some help in my search.

I'm currently looking for a Zinsco Bolt On Panel. I'm needing one for a school project. Does anyone have any idea where I can purchase one? I have literally contacted over 100 used electrical supply companies, countless electrical contractors around the United States, search every site online, but I am still unable to find what I'm looking for.
Any help with my search will be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks,
-Jon

You said that in your first post, what is it that you are actually going to do? Are you going to energize it if you find it?

And why Zinsco?

Zinsco bolt on does not have the issues the plug in garbage does, but I cannot see any reason to reuse one, breakers are only avail. used & bloody expensive, 2 pole 20A was $140, and it was older then the 1976 era panel it went into. Some things need to die & Zinsco/Sylvania is one of them.

I completely agree with all the comments. Zinsco panels are probably the worst panels ever made. But, I'm still needing to purchase one for a class project. I plan to sell the panel to my university's engineering department after I'm done, so they can experiment with and learn why Zinsco panels' designs are awful.
