I can't believe someone did a splice like that inside a panel box. Way too much room for error. I assume you removed tape or jacketing before this picture was taken?

Yes, I should have mentioned that. It was wrapped heavily, but very neatly, in electrical tape which is why the electrician couldn't tell what type of splice it was until the power company came out and disconnected the utility power.

Is there evidence of the anti-corrosion goop inside the splice or is it dry. No goop on aluminum wires equals bad news.

Edit: needs goop on all the aluminum connections, like the terminals on the transfer switch and in the meter socket.
