The box he has is huge, but I doubt you can find a retro fit for it. He
also has to determine the size of the entrance cables. The current fuse box
is a split buss, 150 amp, but those SE conductors don't look like 2/0 to me.
He may wind up with a 20 circuit 100 amp panel, which will be considerably
smaller than what he has

Oh and the service entrance cable. I suggested that the owner of the
house stop by the supply house and talk a guy into giving him a 6 inch
piece of #2 aluminum and we could compare it to what he has.

He is a carpenter, but he works for Cleveland Electric here in
Georgia. He should be able to get a small piece before we go any
farther.
