Family owned in Cedar Falls since 1962 · Two stores · One service bench
Aisle 6 · both stores
Wire by the foot, the weird bulbs, and a lamp bench that's saved a hundred heirlooms.
Switches, outlets, and the bulb you can't find anywhere else. We sell wire by the foot so you don't buy a whole spool, and the lamp bench rewires the lamps families don't want to throw away.
ELECTRICAL
Not on the list? We order from two regional warehouses, and most things land in 2 to 4 business days. Ask for it here.
Lamp rewiring $18 + parts
grandma's lamp, back on in about a week
Bulb & battery recycling Free
drop-off bin by the front register, both stores
Cord-end replacement $8 + parts
for the extension cord you ran over. No judgment.
Estimate before we start. Redo or refund if it didn't hold.
What people walk in with
It's usually the socket or the cord. Leave it at the bench and it comes back rewired in about a week.
Bring the old one. We match the base, the wattage and the shape, even the odd appliance bulbs.
We'll sell you the right switch and plate and explain the safe way to do it. Anything inside the breaker box goes to a licensed electrician.
Who to ask for
Service bench · Main Street
Lou runs the back bench Earl built: screens, lamp rewiring, re-keying and glass. He'll show you how he did the fix if you ask, and he'll probably show you anyway.
More questions? The full FAQ covers returns, delivery and the bench.
The whole pitch
The bolt, the chip of paint, the photo of the drip. Whatever you've got, bring it. Sixty-four years in, the answer is usually ten minutes and a few dollars away.
