that last meter socket is just an old service that they never demo'd... but the rest is horrendous. And is it "belongs to a firefighter", or do you have a cold?

The first few pics didn't scare me.......those just look like every other house built in the fifties. The second set of pics.....YIKES! 
I'm not so sure about that being an old meter that was never demo'd. Those meter jaws look pretty clean to me....like their was a meter socket in there fairly recently.

Answer me this, does it work? 
These hole melted in the panel tub is the worst one I think I haver ever seen. I did have one where the whole inside of a pull box was black but no hole.

Nope. Those go to the outdoor receptacles. The bathroom is on a 15 amp bedroom circuit.

There's no reason to be intimidated by a service like this. It's just a bunch of branch circuits with several "sub panels" and a main disconnect up top. Make sure you identify all of the double pole circuits, preferably with electrical tape, and go to work. This one's actually pretty easy considering the BC's are all nice and long (no new j-boxes).
Personally, I install all new connectors and identify all of the circuits after re-energizing the service but you can do whatever works for you.
