I don't know why it was made small when the house was built.
But then back in the 70s, they did not use as much power consuming stuff as we do today.
Although the decision of circuits still puzzles me.
I'm glad I'm not in the flat that I rented in San Francisco, 30 years ago. The entire flat was on only THREE fuses.
Yes, as you said, the labor is going to be the same, so when I finally do upgrade the main panel, I will probably go with something like a 200amp unit (so that I have plenty of extra capacity), and a LARGE breaker panel so I don't have to use those troublesome half-size breakers, and have spare capacity for additional circuits.
