Object- replace zinsco 200 amp with something else, but if possible, I would like to replace it with something physically similar- ie meter position etc.

Not going to be easy, and depending on the Zinsco panel may be impossible. You have not given a location If a panel has to meet EUSERC standards will come ito play too. Could use a Zinsco II panel, AKA Eaton BR, Only way find out what is close would be to go to the 4 manufacturers website & look the data.

GE: https://electrification.us.abb.com/products/load-centers/powermark-gold-meter-socket

Eaton: https://www.eaton.com/us/en-us/prod...al-metering-selector-tool/meter-breakers.html

Siemens: https://www.sea.siemens.com/ Firefox would not let me go further.

Are you saying it's a combination panel with the meter built in? If so I assume it's mounted on the exterior? How many circuits?

Check with your power company and get a list of approved meter mains. Then you can look those up. Most major manufacturers have dimensional drawings.

The OP has a Zinsco panel & some of their designs were quite unusual, which makes replacement more difficult.

Yes, I had an old CH was narrow, what a pain. I would do it slightly different if I were to do it again under different circumstances.

Photos will help as a picture being worth a thousand words still applies, but being surface mount will make things easier.

Can you post a photo? There are two different types that I can think of and the oddest type is the most likely.
