You're worried about the total distance from your main panel. 60' is really not very far though. In all likelihood it's a bad or corroded connection somewhere.

Keep in mind most of those old plug fuse panels have a screw under the fuse that makes the connection, they can get loose. Looks like they are switching the neutral and the hot from that pic, normal for back then for the most part.
Pull the fuses out and see what the fuse shells and insulators look like.

Ding ding ding. We have a winner. any place there is a connection or contact (as on a switch) there is potential for a loose wire or corroded/carbonned contacts/connections.
I would look for loose wires and discolored contacts/connections.
