WA2ISE-

Are there FPE home breaker panels that are/were not the Stab-Lok type? I am curious, because I replaced my FPE panel with a different brand when I rewired this house in 1990. Mainly, I did it because FPE breakers then cost $20 each and the newer/more common brands (Challenger, Square D, etc.) were less than $4 each, so once I knew I wanted more than two new circuits the hardware paid for itself. It will be good to know if I also improved the safety of the house, though. Thanks and 73.
