Sourcing Old Style Mcb's For Panels

[spot light]

Hello

We commonly have to locate old style MCB breakers for panels such as MEM1, Crabtree, Square D and others. Couple of people in the past have mentioned dedicated internet suppliers of used old breakers? Has anyone used a supplier and has the costs been reasonable?

Thank you for your time and response.

The problem with all rare things is that their price increases with their rareity..

Unfortunately if you need a particular piece of switch gear and its not readily available then you have to pay what the seller is demanding or figure out a different way of doing what you want to do,,, that could include replacing the complete switch gear assembly

Used these before for C50's but only where it's been just adding changing / a single circuit and the old board has not been changed:

Hello Seaman Stains and Distinguished member

This is very helpful and yes trully understand costs for older times would indeed be alot higher. I viewed the website link how fantastic and spotred Dorman Smith another brand we struggle to get breakers for.

spot light,

Dorman Smith are still going, I have installed their panel boards within the last 18 months, and again a couple of years prior.

I knew the local rep, he was very helpful, however, he has now left Dorman, and taken a couple of client & supplier loyalties with him!

By the way.

The posters name is in the blue bar, above the note on their picture.

e.g. I am KME; not fridge keyholder ( although I am that too, else you`d never get any sense out of this lot :slap )
