First a question: Is this JUST a power center (Fuses or breakers or both) Or is there a converter hiding behind the fuse/breaker panel.
In the first case.. Any power center that fits the hole is nice,, I mean there are many companies making breaker boxes and fuse panels.
However I suspect it is the second.
IF the fuse/breaker part is good, and it almost always is, then you can replace the electronics behidn the panel.. Progressive Dynamics makes a bunch of products, SOME are designed to work "Stand alone" like my 9180 with wizard or a 9280 (Wizard built in) with our with out remote dongle (your choice).
They also make another that is designed to fit where the converter is on several integrated models. I **THINK** it is the 4600 line. (Might be off on that)
In any case Randy at best converters (Just google for Bestconverters) is who you need to contact if you have issues.. HE has what you need. and most members seem to like his prices.
Brands and models to avoid.
WFCO is made in China, it is a Chinese company and many report that though it is a good unit when it works...... SHORT Mean time between failure.
Parallex 7300.. .This is a single stage unit, 3-stages are better, Parallex makes some of those too. just not the 7300
