My meter base is rectangle which indicates a rating of 200 Amp. My Service panel indicates 125 Amp max for the main feed bus and 70 Amp max for the sub feed bus. I saw the service entrance wires were aluminum and compared the wire size to be 1 gauge. Service size for that size wire would be 110 Amp. The four main disconnect breakers are 50, 50, 40, 30.

So would my service size be 110 Amp?
Would it be 70 Amp?
Would it be 50, 50, 40, 30 Amp?

Also you will notice I saw some indications of heated wires and wrong hardware, double tapped neutral returns, and its a stab lok panel.

If I were to call out my service, I think I would say it is 110 Amp.
