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. 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.

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. 

New Beginnings Start with Endings Sometimes!

Congratulations to Billy Zimmerer on his Retirement after 21 years of service.  Billy has been a valued member of the CBS staff and the void of his absence will be hard to fill. 

But on the other hand, Billy has earned his retirement and he looks forward to spending time with his family and seeing more of American with his wife (heard something about a Nova Scotia trip again).

Lots of people ask me why our company is located in Gainesville, Texas.  Quite honestly it is because of good people just like Billy.  In the country, the mom's still raise the kids right and they are taught about hard work, integrity and respect.  Whereas in the city, the quality of employee is much different.  I will take the country everytime and so will most of our folks.  Thanks again Billy!

PS.. all "retirees" are automatically invited to all festivals and parties for as long as they would like to attend.  They may have retired from the workforce but they will always be part of our family. 

Best wishes to everyone in 2012
