Electrician says this rusty 200 amp line is ok, he just wants to replace the meter and the breaker box. Is he taking a short cut here and should he replace the rust elbow

He mention led cleaning and scraping off the rust, spraying with rustoleum, and closing it up. He is worried that if he bends the wires to replace the elbow they would snap and the whole line to the outside pole would have to be replaced. Does that sound like a reasonable approach?Just the elbow is my concern. Everything else is getting removed, all the subpanels and such will be gone. All the BX will be replaced with Romex.photos via /r/DIY https://ift.tt/2T2v9nO
