I’ve installed minibreakers to replace all of the fuses for the individual circuits in my 90 yr. old house.

Range, Dryer and Main are still fuses.

My fuse box (1950) was almost inaccessible and required holding the flashlight in my mouth to to change out a fuse. None of the local electricians would deal with it because they said the wiring all had to be replaced in the whole house (fabric covered wires) which expense would render it more economical to buy a new house. So I erected a framework that would support me in the necessary odd position and replaced it myself with a breaker box which I moved to a more accessible location.
