1976 Sub panel

They should be separated in the sub panels. Also, not sure when it was required, but the disco shouldn't be in a clothes closet either, should it?

Essentially the same, yes. It's wrong now. It was wrong then. It was wrong decades before then.
Quote: Here is what I have the main disconnect is in a bedroom closet at one end of the house and there are two panels in a utility closet in another part of the house. Since they are not anywhere close I consider the distribution panel as sub panels - but there are wired as main panels with all the ground / neutrals on the same bar.
They're wrong. There's not much else to say.
