Who's a good online vendor for older-style circuit breakers? Mike "Rocket

Mike;
Don't know if this source will sell circuit breakers in "onesey-twosy"
quantities OR to the public (as it is a source for us pro's), but you can
try calling Breaker King at 1-800-843-6797 or Fax them at 1-419-663-6903.
There is also Oregon Breakers here in Portland, OR. 1-503-736-0921. One of
them may be able to help you. If your circuit breaker panel is one of the
"American" style, the plug-in type like GE, ITE (Gould), Murray, Arrow-Hart,
Challenger, Bryant/Westinghouse, American, then Cutler-Hammer (who now own
Bryant/Westinghouse) has a BR-style UL rated "classified" circuit breaker
that is UL approved in many of these old panels. They are only available in
"full size" forms, not in the "thin", "mini", "wafer", "twin" sizes. Hope
one of these answers will help you in the right direction!!!!

Thanks, Bruce! It's clearly time for me to clamber behind the man-eating
philodendron and open up that breaker panel and see what the heck style
of breakers are lurking within.
