don't think I'll get the same lifetime out of the Hager 6+6 that replaced it.

I know of a huge manor house with those still in service! Several on each floor, with braided submains.

All original wiring through-out - quite scarey!! All works, and they don't want to rip apart the quality home.

Lectrician, are these people mad????

You'd probably be surprised how many of these are still about, just be careful as some of them contain asbestos.

Do you have any photos of the Meter Cupboard where it was installed?

You should clean that up and put it on eBay.

It's actually gone to a local "black museum" for posterity, run by the electrician that certified me. Did someone say "backhander"?
This wasn't installed in a meter cupboard, just high up on a wall. I guess that when they were that well made and finished, you didn't have to hide them away.
The property was built in 192x with its own generator; that was the fusebox for the generator supply. It's been in use ever since through DC then AC mains supplies.
The fuses themselves have an asbestos pad in them.
