Finally, here's a picture of the creature in question. I think the

I'd be interested for sure in getting ahold of an actual replacement
cover if possible, but fabrication still sounds like a good option
too. I'm wanting to address the overt safety issue now, and maybe
upgrade the whole box to 200 amp service later down the road.

I guess am not savvy enough to handle this task on my own, as I don't
know what an Edison circuit is, or how to bond a jumper.

Cutler Hammer is still around. I don't have the slightest idea if you
can get a cover, but you could email this picture to them, and they
could tell you right away. If they can't get you a cover they might
be able to suggest a replacement part.

BTW having your panel exposed like it is will make an upgrade much
easier.

The installer was A. Genius. I thought that was a pretty good joke.
Did you do that?

Yeah, I know Cutler Hammer is still around, but their part is the
cover plate that is mismatched to the box, right?

I thought the "A. Genius" was a good laugh too...and no, I didn't
write it in...a prior owner must've autographed it.
