CEB ELECTRICAL PANEL AND BREAKERS

My advice would be to replace the panel. They are known to have had issues.

I have no idea. They're bolt on-breakers, so that's one good thing -- the connection to the bus isn't about to get loose.
Otherwise, I've never heard of them before.

If this breaker had been working properly, would it have melted? OK, so it was loose. Why would it become loose after 40 years of service? You could end up waiting till 2011 for Eaton to ship you a new main breaker. Can you trust the branch circuit breakers, that are also 40 yrs old?
Will they still trip if they get overloaded?
Have an electrician check it out and get some estimates. You might want to use this opportunity to upgrade to 200 amps. Even if you need to stick to 100 amps service for now, you could have the 200 amp panel installed with a 100 amp main breaker.
I see CEB panels once in a while. I'm getting a mental picture of them in mobile homes, maybe. I was not aware of issues with them until now. But I've never come across those Ontario panels with the combination of breakers and fuses. One more item to watch for.
