In the case of a Stab-Lok panel that won't solve all the problems, even
if you can find good breakers. Apparently the bus design of those
panels is a weakness as well. I'd just replace with new. AFAIK
Square-D QO seems to be the most highly regarded residential panel,
although it's the Homeline (less expensive) that uses the standard
breaker/bus size/shape.
