Walked into this older panel....main disconnect 60amps/220v....older service conductors cut off and left to rot at the bottom.....double tapping....GFCI inoperative.....i think there is a fuse on the right upper corner....any other observations would help!

The conductors at the bottom have been cut off and the service entrance conductors from the meter are coming into a 2 pole 60 amp breaker at the top right. I could not tell the size of the conductors feeding the 60amp 2 pole breaker. I'm uploading a couple more images to get a better view...

Panel requires replacement!
Period
why screw around with a bastardized piece of crap?

Missing a cable clamp in the bottom. Mr. Sparky didn't have a hex wrench for those cable lugs? Is that a #14 wire on the 20 amp breaker?

There's plenty of fodder there for an electrician. Best fix is a replacement, I agree with Wayne on that one.
