I think that's what my 1972 house had, and I suspect the meter base was
Federal-Pacific, too. When we had the panel replaced (somewhere between
1997 and 2000), we had the meter base replaced, too. When the
electrician took the meter off he found that one of the spring clips the
meter blade goes into was wrapped with iron wire. Apparently it had lost
it's springiness and, rather than replace it, someone "fixed" it with
the iron wire. I'm glad that it's properly fixed with a new meter base, now.
