GE = Generous Electric (he says with a smile)

OK I know we have all heard this joke a bunch of times that GE stands for Generous Electric and it is usually said with a snicker.  But really it kind of does.  GE IS GENEROUS ELECTRIC.  But in a good way.

GE is generous to not only themselves but also all the folks who consume their durable goods.  We can repair GE circuit breakers and related apparatus because it was well designed and built originally.  More modern goods many times are not able to be repaired or serviced and so have a much shorter lifespan. 

Look at these legacy replacement breakers which recently arrived (the original air breakers are shown in the last photo).  These GE PVVL Vacuum Roll in Replacement Breakers are meant to replace the GE Magneblast line.

If you see something you need please call.  We answer the telephone 24/7 and even usually respond to email right away (although for an emergency please call us direct and we will respond).

Another Mystery Part!

OK first we want to thank all the folks that participated in the last mystery part contest.  In case you forgot what the previous part was CLICK HERE.  The "answer" we were looking for was:

 "FP undervoltage device for FP-25 or FP-50 style circuit breakers" and the bonus question was "115vAC control" ( you could see that in the photo). 

Winners included;  Matt Hart, Matt Brierley, Salvatore Moscato, Ken Prince, Gus Mininberg, Guido Tan and Mike Sposato (who wins $200 because he also correctly identified that it came off his breaker we were repairing.. good eye).  Incorrect answers were quite creative and several are not suitable for reprint here (although our staff appreciated the humor).  Even the "losers" were sent T-Shirts just for playing.  But that was then and this is now so TIME FOR A NEW MYSTERY PART!
Again, winners receive a coveted "Bad Trip T-Shirt" and $100 gift card.  Email us the following info on this part, manufacturer, type of accessory (shunt trip, aux switch, etc) and the type of circuit breaker it goes on (e.g, air, molded, insulated, oil or vacuum).  First 10 folks win prize (there were not 10 winners last contest).

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, RVI, TheCircuitBreakerStore.com, Western Electric and/or any other affiliate of Group CBS.

Little HD Video going down today!

Check out this new promotional video we have been working on.  As Griffin says "needs more hot babes and explosions" but kind of is what it is.  But this might give some a better idea of just how capable we are the depth of our inventory.  Nothing in this video is repeat footage.  Let us know what you think!

Blast from the Past!

In the beginning!

A friend just shared this photo with us. 

Look at the size of the building and the surrounding land.  What we look like today is top left photo on this page.  My how things have grown. 

This will be our 30th year in business.  Thanks to Ray Kinney and Finley Ledbetter for founding us, thanks the Gainesville, TX for having us, and thanks to all the customers and staff that contribute to our success.
