Where is the Fuse ?

[H.L. ( Buddy ) Ligon 111]

I inspected this 2400 Sq.Ft., 60 year old, in original condition home in Austin, Tx. Listing for $840,000.00 and This "electrical box" with the Copper Tubing for a Fuse is in the kitchen pantry and supply's electricity to the H.V.A.C. system. It is among the many "Repairs" I found like this on the home-It just goes to show just because it cost a lot doesn't mean its been properly maintained ?!?!

Is that a piece of copper pipe?

It may be protected from over current upstream, but still should be corrected with a wire nut if that is the case.
