I suggest looking on the internet for a complete replacement box of the same design and configuration with low miles on it. I had a breakdown on my old house of the fused panel once and it was a minor miracle it did not start a fire.

I suspect it might be a lot cheaper to replace the antiquated fuse panel with a new box with modern breakers in it than you might imagine. If you can find one with a similar layout it is not hard to change one for the other providing your wires are not too crispy.
