Mystery Part is Back!

The Mystery Part is Back!

Some of you might remember that right after Finley created the internet, Astro & CBS came up with the idea for the "Mystery Part Contest".  And if you recall, we played the game for a couple of years with lots of winners and a good time was had by all.  But for some reason it stopped. 

Well "It's Back" and this "blog" format might be just perfect for this "Game of Skill".  Join us in the new and improved Mystery Part Contest.

The first 3 people to (i) identify the part, and (ii) the manufacturer and (iii) type/model of the breaker it goes on will get a crisp $100 bill and our coveted "bad trip" T Shirt. 

And for more challenge, if you can guess the voltage we with throw in an extra bonus gift (coffee mug or golf balls usually).  Send your "guesses" to Mystery Part Judge!  A "back view" of this part is available Here!

Weasel Words:  Because this blog crosses state and international borders, my lawyers say we need some "disclosures" so here goes... this contest is open to all friends and customers of Astro Controls, CBS Arcsafe, CBS Nuclear, Circuit Breaker Sales, Circuit Breaker Sales & Service, Circuit Breaker Sales & Repair, iE2, Solid State Exchange & Repair, TheCircuitBreakerStore.com, Western Electric and/or any other affiliate of Group CBS.  But not employees or their immediate family members.   All winners names will be posted here and each winner is responsible for their own taxes. The decision of the Judges is usually final. 

Inventory Management Continues!

One of the most valuable resources in our Group, is the significant inventories maintained by all of our offices.

Here is some new pallet rack being assembled at Circuit Breaker Sales.  We plan to move and recatagorize our overcurrent and protective relays both electrmechanical style as well as the more modern solid state and digital stuff.  We likely have 50,000 of these relays in our inventories. 

And while cataloging relays is nice, we can also test and calibrate them  Our newest piece of test equipment is this Doble F6150. 

Call today if there is something you need (800) 232-5809.

Additionally, we are having a special on the GE Multilin 469-P5-HI-A20-T in our Store.

Daily Arrivals!

Every day, a truck arrives and drops something off (hopefully it picks up some stuff up too but this post is about the incoming equipment).

In the present economy, the "buying is right" as they say and we have never seen as many opportunities to purchase equipment as we have in the last six months.  This "downturn" is really an upturn in terms of inventory management.

Due to the fact that there is material available for sale at super competitive prices, we are able to offer that same advantage to our customers.  It is "trickle down economics" in its purest form.  In addition, anything you purchase from us will technically be "recycled" and may qualify for LEEDS credits or other state and local incentives.   Go to our Photo Gallery of New Arrivals to see more.
